Critical Success Points

  • Incorporation of soft butter during kneading
  • Observing the cold rest time between each lamination turn
  • Overnight cold rest of the dough
  • Second rise at room temperature before baking
  • Immediate unmoulding after baking to prevent the caramel from sticking

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with kitchen gloves.
  • Melted butter can be very hot; pour it slowly to avoid splatters.
  • Use a sharp knife to avoid slipping.
