Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your Danish. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality flour.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place, about 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit, until it has doubled in size.
  • Egg wash the dough: Before baking, brush the dough with an egg wash made from one egg and one tablespoon of water. This will help the Danish to brown evenly.
  • Bake the Danish until it is golden brown: The Danish should be baked until it is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
  • Let the Danish cool before filling it: Once the Danish is baked, let it cool completely before filling it. This will prevent the filling from making the Danish soggy.
