When dough is finished, remove from pan and flatten it in the shape of a rectangle. Then put dough in a greased 9x13" pan and put in freezer for 1 hour. Roll out the chilled dough. Cover dough with butter slices and roll to incorporate. Fold dough over three times, rolling after each fold. Cover dough and let rest in fridge for 1 hour. Remove dough from fridge. Fold dough over 3 more times, roll lightly after each fold. Return to fridge for 2 more hours. Roll dough gently until 1/8" thick. Cut into triangles.
