⚙ Wrapping and Chilling the Dough: How to Do It and How Long It Takes

Wrapping and Chilling the Dough takes 30 min most of the time (usually between 30 min and 1 hr).

Chilling firms the butter and relaxes the gluten: the dough rolls out easily, doesn't stick to the counter and doesn't shrink in the oven.
