Method
 

  1. Dissolve the fresh baker’s yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and knead until smooth and elastic.

Notes

For best results, chill the butter before spreading it on the dough to ensure maximum flakiness. This pastry can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or even frozen for later enjoyment. Dust with powdered sugar for presentation or serve with whipped cream or fresh berries.
