Increase speed to medium and knead for 5 minutes, until the dough comes together into a smooth ball. With the mixer running, add the softened butter a few pieces at a time, waiting until each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next. Once all the butter is in, continue kneading on medium speed for 8–10 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
