Rising the Dough:

• Grease a large bowl with oil, place the dough inside, and turn it to coat with oil.
• Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place, like an oven turned off, for 1½ hours.
• Knead the dough for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, then return it to the bowl, cover it again, and let it rise for another 1 hour.

Ready for Use:

• Using your fingers, flatten each cube into flakes while combining them with the flour.
• Refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes, ensuring the butter remains firm.
• Add the ice-cold water and stir until the dough loosely holds together.

Shape the Dough:

• Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and pat it into an 18 x 8-inch rectangle.
• Sprinkle the top with flour.
• Fold the dough lengthwise in thirds, similar to folding a business letter.
• After folding, flour the work surface again and the top of the dough.
• Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to maintain the previous size, keeping the folded sides as the width and the open ends as the length.
• Work swiftly; refrigerate briefly if the butter softens.

Repeat Folding and Rolling:

• Fold the dough a second time in the same manner, roll it out again, and repeat this process two more times (for a total of four times).
• Ensure surfaces are floured as needed, and always end with the dough folded.

Chill and Store:

• Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 40 minutes.
• Roll and fold it twice more.
• The dough is now ready to use or can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for future use.

Prepare the Dough:

• Follow steps 1 and 2 of the Sweet Filled Bread Rings recipe for preparing and kneading the dough.
• Do not let it rise at this stage.

Shaping the Rolls:

• Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
• Shape each piece into an oval and cut a slit lengthwise down the center of each oval.
• Place these rolls on a cookie sheet and allow them to rise in a warm place (like an oven turned off) for about 3 hours until they double in size.
• Fill the slit in each roll with about 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Preheat and Bake:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Lightly beat the egg with 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl.
