Question

5. Why is butter used between laminated dough?

Answer 1

Answer: The purpose is to create a layer of butter between each layer of dough. It's important to refrigerate dough between each series of turns to prevent the butter from melting into the dough.

Answer 2

Answer:

If done properly, a well-laminated piece of dough will have hundreds of alternating layers of butter and dough. When the heat of the oven hits this dough, the water in the dough and in the butter converts to steam. The steam puffs up each layer of dough before it evaporates, create separate layers of delicate, flaky pastry.
