Turn the dough so that the 9" side is towards you. Place the sticks of butter vertically and side-by-side (touching) on the center of the dough. Fold the bottom ⅓ up over the butter, then fold the top ⅓ down (think folding a letter). Press the outside edges together to seal the butter in.
While the dough is chilling, cut the sticks of butter in half lengthwise. Remove the dough from the fridge onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 9 x 13" rectangle.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, form into a ½" thick rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
Add the paddle attachment to the mixer, then pour in the salt, melted butter and 2½ cups flour. Run the mixer on low until the dough comes together (it will be shaggy), adding up to ¼ cup more flour if needed.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Stir together and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
