Tips:
1. The steps are too detailed, there is nothing left to say.
2. Adjust the oven temperature and baking time according to the "temper" of your own oven.
3. I used the 40-fold shortening method twice, or three-fold shortening method. According to my habit, there is not much difference in taste.
4. Control the amount of water in the dough, and master the degree of softness of the dough and the degree of softness of butter slices.
5. Make your own and eat it yourself, use good shortening butter, just use margarine slices. The higher the fat content of butter, the better the quality, the stronger the ductility, and the easier it is to shorten. I chose a fermented butter roll with 82% fat content imported from France. I have bought the same butter slices before, and I haven't seen it for more than a year. Unexpectedly, the butter roll is also easy to use, but it adds a step to the trouble.
