1. In the stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, sift flour and salt in mixing bowl. Cut and add cold butter into the mixing bowl distributing evenly, and mix at low speed until the butter is broken into smaller pieces and coated with flour, about 15-20 seconds. You want to still see larger pieces of butter throughout.
2. Continue at a low speed, add the egg yolks, and gradually the ice water, mixing until the water is absorbed and the dough comes together, then stop mixing, about 10 seconds. DO NOT overmix.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and dust the top of the dough as well and work with your hands to pat down and form a rectangle, but still maintaining a thickness to about ¾ inch. Wrap with saran wrap tightly and place in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and roll out to about ½ inch thickness and fold in thirds, envelope style. Wrap again, chill for another 20 minutes, and repeat this one more time.
4. The final rolling and wrapping, place in a zip-lock bag and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
