pinch flour
4 cups cold milk
1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup soft butter
9 eggs
3 Tb lemon rind
3/4 cup sugar
15 or so cups flour
3 lbs butter

Proof 6 pkg. of dry yeast using warm water, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of flour and let froth. Make a soft well-developed dough using milk, 3/4 cup soft butter, 15 or so cups of flour, eggs, lemon rind and vanilla Let the dough rise until double in the refrigerator and then divide into 4 portions. Layer each piece of dough with half it's weight in butter using the letter-fold technique. Give it 4 turns, every half-hour, and then let rest for three hours before using. This dough is unusual in that it is made with cold ingredients. But it will rise nontheless, just slowly.
