Place the butter between two sheets of wax paper and form a thin rectangle with the help of a rolling pin. Freeze for 1 hour.
Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, butter, milk, and water in a mixing bowl. Beat until all ingredients are well combined. Let it rest for 1 hour.
Roll out the dough to form a rectangle, place the block of butter in the center, close the ends of the dough, and roll out until it doubles in size. Fold the dough by bringing the ends to the center. Repeat this process 3 times, resting the dough in the freezer for 20 minutes between each rolling and folding. During the last fold, let the dough ferment in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
