We are having problems with out Danish dough. During proofing, most of the roll-in leaks out from between the layers. What are we doing wrong?

The proofing conditions of Danish dough products are very important and differ from conditions for proofing other types of sweet dough. Proofing at too high of a temperature melts the roll-in and causes the fat to leak out from between the layers. The temperature must be below the melting point of the roll-in. A desirable temperature range is 90 to 95F with a relative humidity of 80 to 85 percent.
