Again, visually divide the dough into three equal parts, and then grease 2 of them with a small amount of butter. Then roll the dough, tucking in the unbuttered part and the buttered part on top. The result will be a folded book of dough. Put the resulting mass in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Repeat this procedure 3 times, but without butter. Grate the cheese, finely chop the bacon and lightly fry in a frying pan for several minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out. Then cut a circle out of the dough and divide it into eight equal parts. Put a small amount of cheese and bacon on each piece of dough (triangle), and then roll it up.
