Instructions
- Place flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add butter and toss with your fingertips until evenly coated with flour.
- Add water to bowl. Mix on low speed until the dough forms a shaggy mass, about 45 seconds.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until butter is firm but not brittle, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a floured work surface and roll into a ½-inch-thick rectangle that is about 10 ½ x 6 inches.
- Fold one third of the longer side of the dough over the center third of dough. Fold the final third over the center (like you would fold a letter). Tightly wrap folded dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Repeat this process of rolling, folding and refrigerating 4 more times, turning the dough 90 degrees each time before rolling.
- After completing the final fold, wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm before using, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
