LARGE DANISH BRAID
Yummy, right?! Flaky, sweet, buttery deliciousness--that pretty much sums up this pastry. I went with a cream cheese and raspberry filling that i loved as well.
Now, I'm going to be totally honest, I cheated! I just didn't have the patience today to wait the hours in between rolling and folding, rolling and folding, rolling and folding (even just typing that out was laborious)--so I didn't! I just rolled and folded one right after the other and skipped chilling. And guess what? It worked! I even forgot to let it rise, but I still had plenty of flakiness plus the rest of my day. Wahoo! There was only one down fall; by the last roll out before I put the filling on, the dough was getting sticky which made braiding kinda tricky. Some of the braids broke and I had to piece them back together.
So, it wasn't the prettiest braid, but it was the price I was willing to pay today.

Your photo looks so mouthwatering! It's nice to know it still works without all the refrigeration. I always wonder if that's necessary or just to make it easier to handle. Good to know it would work if you were in more of a rush.
