Prepare butter for rolling. Butter has to be playable, not too soft, use parchment paper to roll it into a block. Transfer it to chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before rolling.
Remove the dough from the fridge. Roll it as a square big enough to place the butter block inside. Place butter block inside the dough. Start rolling by pushing the butter from one side to another (lengthwise). Cut the edges. Place on top of the dough. Fold the dough as a letter. Turn the dough 90 degrees and continue rolling lengthwise. Cut the edges, put them aside, fold the dough as a letter. Cover, transfer it to the fridge for 1 hour. Repeat the same letter folding.
