When you make a butter block(Beurrage), you can use just dry butter,(dry butter means the butter which is low in water, high in fat like more than 82% fat) but I would go through one more process.
The most important thing when roll out puff pastry, I said before, 'temperature control' which means the water dough(Detrempe) and butter block inside should be same consistence so that it is able to be rolled consistently. So I will make my butter "more pliable" by adding strong flour so as to give it gluten.
You will need :
400g butter / 40g strong flour (bread flour)
| 2 | 
| 1 | 
(1,2) Mix softened butter and flour well.
| 3 | 
| 4 | 
(3,4) Place on the baking paper, fold the paper like
photo 4. It will help the paper not unfold easily.
| 5 | 
| 6 | 
(5,6) Folded side down, and roll out with a rolling pin to
0.5cm in thickness. Chill it in the fridge till it sets.
Now ready to use!
