Hi
Posting this a bit late but have you tried the Julia Child recipe for Danish Braid. It’s fool proof and although it has a bunch of steps the end results is dazzling.
Usually I do it over three days so I am not so over whelmed.
The recipe can be found in the “Baking with Julia” book which was written by Dorie Greenspan

Finally I made it here! Happy one year anniversary!! I agree about the dough, both times I halved it and it laminated beautifully, all layered and all. The one time I made the full recipe, it was allright but not as flaky. I love your choice of fillings! Great job as always!

Happy birthday, Wild Yeast! I’m a week late, due to a lack of internet, but it makes me happy that my favorite blog’s birthday is just a few days away from my own.

Happy anniversary! (too many comments to read, so I’ll just post my thoughts on lamination) From my observations, if the butter runs out, it’s too warm, and if the butter breaks/cracks, it’s too cold. I have really warm hands (good for bread, bad for everything else) so it’s good to keep your hands cool and laminate it as quickly as possible. (you know it’s too warm too when the dough is just too warm and soft).

And you really need the butter and the dough to be of same consistency (as pliable as the dough) before rolling it out (so you don’t really need to beat it, just warm it up with your hands, or leave outside to warm and then mould it to size, or beat it with a rolling pin [beating = friction = warmth]). ^^

Hope it helps (hope I’m right lol). Ooo and I lurve your posts on flour and bread making (agree 100%). ^^

My prior experience with laminated doughs called for beating with the rolling pin, too, so I was surprised by this one. I had the same experience with the layers not quite being there, but the taste was still good. Happy blog birthday!
