A Danish Braid is in the family of butter-laminated or layered doughs. This was my first Daring Bakers' challenge...butter-laminated...layered dough...I was nervous! Fortunately, the process sounded much more intimidating than it was.

Beatrice used a wooden chopstick to level flour! Loved this idea!
She sprinkled flour using a powdered sugar sprinkler.I had one and filled it with flour. Loved this idea also!
Here we go.
I followed the recipe closely and the results were beautiful. Yum! This is a fabulous recipe and much easier that I expected. I can't wait to try a different filling next time...maybe some berries and cream. Check out other Daring Bakers at Daring Bakers Blogroll.
