Start by placing a small amount of butter in the mixer.

Add sugar and yeast, ensuring salt is added last to prevent killing the yeast.

Add eggs and milk for richness.

Mix in pastry flour and bread flour for stability, mixing for about 5 minutes to develop gluten.

Stop the mixer and check the gluten development.

Transfer the dough to a floured sheet pan and let it relax in the cooler for about 30 minutes.

Prepare a butter block by creaming butter and flour together.

Chill the butter block alongside the dough for the same amount of time.

Roll out the dough to half sheet pan size, ensuring it doesn't stick to the table.

Spread 2/3 of the butter block evenly over the dough, sealing the edges.

Perform a threefold fold to lock in the butter, then let it rest for another 30 minutes before rolling it out again.
