Danish Twists image

My twin sister and I (we're 18) love to bake together, and this was one of the first yeast breads we tried. Any day becomes a special occasion when these rich buttery twists are on the menu! But plan ahead...the dough needs to rise overnight. -Charys Rockey, Rochelle, Texas

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Danish twists were a complete disaster. They were so dense and doughy.

These Danish twists were alright. They weren't as good as I thought they would be.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Danish twists didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were a bit dry and the filling was bland.

I've tried many Danish twist recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough is so flaky and the filling is so flavorful.
