It worked a treat. I still have half the dough left, so I may try a custard filling soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320010625470415211.post-47726303358191992872012-04-13T19:44:39.233-07:002012-04-13T19:44:39.233-07:00I would suggest using a generous amount of flour w...I would suggest using a generous amount of flour when you roll it out and fold it (a total of three times) to counter balance the wetness in the dough.

And i ended up with a really wet dough ):<br />I chilled it for 10 hours, and i just finished rolling the really wet mixture with much difficulty. and chilling it now. <br />Is it ruined, or will the end product just be not as flaky, or do i try to salvage it by adding lots more flour? <br /><br />PS i halved the recipe and followed it to a T except for slightly overdosing the butter by say 20g at most?<br /><br />Hope you could reply soon!

I think it's nice to have the fruit filling peeking through. I will say this isn't technically a braid (which normally has three pieces interlacing). Don't get too caught up in what the pattern looks like...once you put on the almond slivers, pearl sugar and then drizzle with the icing and cut it in slices, any sense of a pattern goes out the window. <br /><br />Stay tuned this week...I made the second half of my dough into danish for Thanksgiving morning with an apple pie like filling. It was a big hit with my family. I have just been slacking and haven't had a chance to post it yet. <br /><br />Have fun with your brunch!Gloria - The Ginger Snap Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132851638323218917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320010625470415211.post-30751230601238214242011-12-04T23:22:30.985-08:002011-12-04T23:22:30.985-08:00Dang Gloria, I am impressed!
