the most beloved pastry

Mix the sugar and yeast in a mixing bowl until a paste forms. Add the milk and egg. Add the flour, salt, lemon juice, and softened butter. Knead the yeast dough with a mixer until it pulls away from the edges. Cover and let it rise in a place that is not too warm. The dough should not be too soft. Mix the butter and flour together, flatten them, and chill. Roll the yeast dough into a rectangle. Place the chilled flour and butter on one half and fold the remaining dough over it. Roll out the dough sheet to about 1/2 cm thick and fold it into three layers. (Single turn) Chill for about 1/2 hour so the butter does not become too soft and the dough can relax. Then give it another “Single turn.” After a further resting period, the puff pastry can be made into various pastries.
