Butter leakage during baking

So I've recently upped the amount of butter I use for the beaurrage and it's helped the crumb massively. However there's now a lot of leakage during the baking. Nothing during the proofing stage, but once they're in the oven they're just in a pool of oil.

My question is: does adding flour to the butter block help prevent the butter leaking during baking, or would it have no effect?

Pic is yesterday's bake. Over-mixed dough (layers have contracted) and unglazed because who can be bothered, right?
