For the Puff Pastry:

1 recipe Simple Tart Dough

1 stick cold unsalted butter

---

Technique:

Roll out tart dough into a large square on a lightly floured surface.

Wrap butter in plastic wrap, and use a rolling pin to beat butter into a flat disc. Unwrap butter, fold over, re-wrap and beat again. Repeat two more times.

Place butter disc inside middle of tart dough and fold over all edges into center. Roll out dough into a larger square and "letter fold" (bottom third of pastry to middle third, then top third down). Chill about 30 minutes.

Roll pastry again and fold back into a square. Chill about 30 minutes.

Roll pastry one more time and "letter fold" into a rectangle and chill 30 minutes.

Pastry is ready to be used as a pastry.
