In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt, sugar, and melted butter. Knead until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Place the block of butter between non-stick plastic and, using a rolling pin, flatten it until you have a square 5 mm thick.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough and place the butter on one edge, then fold it like a book (single fold). Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Remove the dough from refrigeration and roll it out again, folding the edges to the middle of the dough and then folding it like a book (double fold). Return to refrigeration for another 20 minutes.
Repeat the previous step to obtain another double fold and refrigerate covered until use.
