2 tsp of fine sea salt.
50 grams of castor sugar.

- Once combined, gradually add in the softened butter cubes until the dough starts to form.The dough should still be very soft.
- Cover the dough with a damp tea towl and leave for 1hr 30 mins until doubled in size and well – risen. Once well -risen, place into the fridge for a further 60 minutes to rest.
