One more thing to note: The larger amount of butter, folded and rolled together with the yeasted dough to create all those flaky layers, must be in one block before using. If you can find that amount of butter in one block, you're good to go. If your butter consists of several pieces, let them soften, knead them together until cohesive, and chill until cold and firm.
