I just purchased Beatrice Ojakangus’ book on Scandinavian pastry because I was trying to recreate a memory from my husband’s childhood. I’ve made her easy method Danish Pastry dough twice now. It is so much fun! I think I may just keep making batches and freezing them to have on hand just because I enjoy it so much. Your braids and pockets look scrumptious. And by the way, O’Reilly’s law states that Murphy was an optimist!

Your danish braids look wonderful. I can just taste them. I am of Finnish heritage and have a Beatrice Ojakangas book but not the one you mention. We bake Pulla which is a braided coffee bread. Every finnish home has fresh pulla to serve with coffee. I would love to try one of these danish braids but I’m not certain what the pastry cream is. Did you make it or is it something you purchase. I love your site. Makes me VERY hungry! Thank you for sharing.

I’m sorry, but I have to repeat what has already been said in the comment section of this post. From all the challenges of the Daring Bakers I’ve tried so far, I enjoyed this one the most. When I get around to it, I’ll definitely make it again!

Although i’m not a daring baker memebr, I did dare to make them, after seeing them at all your daring baker blogs. I’m new to baking and am very happy to have tried something which I was always afraid to make, danish dough. Although, the first time result was not as beautiful, the next time will come for sure! And I believe as long as they taste fanastic, everything else does not matter!
Thank you for these beautiful and inspiring danish braids!
