Secondly, when it is put and rolled butter or baked margarine, the dough should be cool, so that fat does not melt and does not leak. And if you send the workpiece for cooling in a refrigerator, do not hold it there for a long time and do not attach it directly under the freezer. After all, then the oil will harden too much and will rupture the rolled layers.
