This months baking adventure was making a danish braid. The dough is similar to puff pastry, but contains yeast. I also found it much easier to work with. The recipe made enough dough for two braids. I froze half of the dough and with the other half I created a strawberry and almond danish. It was delicious. Would I make it again? Yes, but I would like to try another filling. I am just not sure what filling I should use. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear about them.
Tasting time. Yum!
That is a good looking danish. I filled mine with apples and raisins.
ReplyDeleteYour filling sounds great.
DeleteVery pretty! I'd love it with a cream cheese filling!
ReplyDeletetrawberry-almond? Never thought of that, but sounds great!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I really liked this recipe too. The dough was so easy to work with. I used an apricot spread, with a cream cheese filling.
ReplyDeleteGreat combo! I was just eying some strawberries at the market today :) How about Nutella and bananas for the next Danish Braid?
ReplyDeleteMmmm! Mine is rising right now, a strawberry cream cheese version. :) I anticipate great results, just like yours!
ReplyDeleteTry peach or apricot jam with the almond! Wish we had frozen half the dough too so we could make another braid this weekend. Smart thinking.
ReplyDeleteStrawberry and almond! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I went with an apple pie type filling. I love the red of the strawberry filling. I too have extra dough. I'm thinking maybe a pear-cranberry filling.
ReplyDeleteHi Lis, the braid looks delicious! I'm as sucker for poached pears. Maybe should should try a pear and sweet cheese or pear and frangipane filling.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas and by the way,Thomas has one of the best blogs around. He inspired me to buy a Meyer lemon tree.
