Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight., Turn onto a heavily floured surface; roll dough into an 18x12-in. rectangle. Cut cold butter into thin slices. Starting with a short side of dough, arrange half of the butter slices over two-thirds of rectangle to within 1/2 in. of edges., Fold unbuttered third of dough over middle third.
