Put the dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Again fold the dough 2 times and roll it to the initial size. This procedure can be repeated up to 6 times. When your dough is ready you can immediately begin to make pastries, but you can store in the freezer.
Note
No need to press hard on the rolling pin when rolling dough, otherwise the dough will become pliable and will not work multi-layered.
