Does chilling the dough influence the final quality of a pastry? If so, in what way?
Yes, chilling the dough makes it easier to handle when rolling it out and prevents the fat from melting into the flour. It also allows the flour to have more time to rehydrate and the gluten time to relax so that, during baking, it can expand the same rate as the gases.
