DOUGH:
1. Combine the flours, salt and cold butter in a Hobart
bowl. Mix with the paddle attachment until the mixture looks
like sand.
2. Replace the paddle with a dough hook.
3. Whisk together the water and eggs. Make a well, and
add the liquid to the flour mixture.
4. Mix dough on 1st speed for 5 minutes or until the dough just
comes together.
5. Remove from the bowl, carefully roll-out the dough into a rectangle the size of a full sheetpan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
BUTTER BLOCK:
6. In the mean time, knead the
remaining butter and bread/cake flour together on your
work table. The butter should be lump free and the flour well
incorporated.
7. Spread the butter evenly onto 2/3rds. of a parchment-lined full
sheetpan. Refrigerate.
8. When the butter has become the same consistency as the dough they can
be placed together. About 20 minutes.
ASSEMBLY:

around. Brush off
any excess flour.
