Prepare ingredients for Danish pastry.

Combine 500 g of bread flour with 30 g of margarine, 30 g of milk powder, 30 g of castor sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 12 g of yeast to the mixture and rub into the flour.

Add 1 egg and gradually mix in 200 ml of lukewarm water to form a dough.

Incorporate 160 g of flex margarine using the Continental method for layering.

Roll the dough into a square shape and fold in the corners to incorporate the margarine.

Roll the dough into a rectangle and perform a book fold, repeating this process three times with resting periods in between.

After the final fold, the dough is ready for rolling out and shaping.
