Instructions
Step 1
Place bread flour, cake flour, dry milk, salt, and butter (1.4 oz) inside the bread pan.
Step 2
Add water. Close cover and place dry yeast into the yeast holder. Select Basic Dough Mode and press start.
Step 3
Allow the breadmaker to complete the basic dough mode.
Step 4
Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and rest the dough in the refrigerator.
Step 5
Roll 5 oz of chilled butter or margarine between two sheets of waxed paper into an 8 x 7 inch rectangle. Place it back in the refrigerator.
Step 6
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10 x 10 1/2 inch rectangle.
Step 7
Place the rolled out butter or margarine over two-thirds of the dough. Fold the third without butter over the center third, then fold the remaining third on top. Seal edges. Rest the dough in the refrigerator.
Step 8
Place the dough at right angles to its previous position. Roll out into a 10 x 10 1/2 inch rectangle. Fold into thirds. Wrap and place into the refrigerator.
Step 9
Repeat the folding, rolling, wrapping, and chilling process three more times, chilling after each rolling. After the final folding, chill the dough for several hours or overnight.
Step 10
Roll out the dough into a 10 x 10 1/2 inch rectangle. Cut into 6 squares. Roll each square out into about a 7 inch square.
Step 11
Place the filling of your choice (apricot jam or marmalade, canned fruit filling or preserves, nut streusel, or cheese filling) in the center of each square. Brush the four corners lightly with water.
Step 12
Fold opposite corners over the center and press down firmly to seal together. Then fold the other two corners over the center and press all four corners tightly together.
Step 13
Place the shaped pastries on a greased baking pan. Spray water on top.
Step 14
Proof the pastries, then brush with beaten egg and bake in the oven at 357 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.
