Danish Cake
INGREDIENTS
- 500g flour
- 210g water
- 25g eggs
- 15g dry yeast
- Salt, sugar
- Honey, butter
- Ohla Topfill
- Pastry cream
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the flour, water, eggs, dry yeast, salt, sugar, and honey, and mix until a smooth dough forms. Cover the dough with a warm cloth and let it rest at 24°C for 1 hour. Once the dough has risen, knead it gently to remove air bubbles.
- Place the dough in the freezer for 5 minutes, then transfer it to the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Put the butter in the middle of the dough, fold the dough over, and roll it out to a thickness of 7mm. Fold the top and bottom edges of the dough in, then fold the dough in half and chill for another 15 minutes.
- After chilling, roll the dough out to a thickness of 3.5mm. Cut it into long strips about the width of a thumb.
- For each pastry, use two strips. Twist one strip lightly and shape it into a circle. Then twist the second strip and wrap it around the outside of the first one.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C for 15 minutes. Whisk one egg with a tablespoon of water and brush it over the dough. Bake for 25-35 minutes at 200°C until golden brown.
