Then cut it into cubes using scissors so it is more convenient to weigh out and work with. The ratio of gelatin to water should always be 1:6 (one part gelatin and six parts water).<\/p>\n<p>5. You can make the gelatin mass in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. \u2022 If you are using gelatin leaves, use the same weight as for powdered gelatin and soak them in cold water.

Take the dough out of the mixer bowl, transfer it onto some acetate sheet and let it rise for 30\u201345 minutes on the counter to develop gluten networks. After that, roll it flat on the baking sheet, put it in the freezer for 10\u201315 minutes and then place it in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Roll the chilled butter layer out with the help of a dough sheeter to make it around 35&#215;24 cm and 1 cm thick.
