Steps:
- Make one recipe of danish dough from my Morning Buns recipe. Complete the dough to step 11. I recommend watching the Morning buns video for a step by step instruction.
- On a floured surface, roll out the danish dough to a 12 x 12 inch (30x30cm) square and cut the dough into 9 squares.
- Place the squares of dough onto the baking sheet and fold the corner of each square in towards the center. Press your finger into the center of the square to create a dent.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract until well blended. Place in a piping bag.
- Pipe about 2 tablespoons of filling into the dent at the center of each square.
- Cover the danishes with plastic wrap and let proof in a warm place until puffed, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
- When the dough is proofed, heat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Remove the plastic, brush the dough with the egg wash, and bake for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C), rotate the pan, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the danishes are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
- These danishes are best the day they are made, but any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Re-crisp in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
- Beat the whole egg with 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl; set aside.
- Beat the egg yolk, cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth.
- Lay out the 2 sheets of puff pastry and cut each into 4 squares. Fold the corners of the squares over by about 1 inch to make octagon shapes. Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the center of each (about 2 tablespoons per); do not spread the cream cheese. Brush all of the exposed pastry with the egg wash, then dust generously with sugar.
- Bake until puffed and golden brown all over, about 18 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
CHEESE DANISH
Even a great store-bought Danish will never taste as fresh as one you've baked yourself. Our streamlined process for making the dough minimizes the work while still giving you buttery, flaky results. Top this classic cheese filling here with a few raspberries, blueberries or even a dollop of your favorite jam just before baking, if you like.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup/32 grams confectioners' sugar, the egg yolk, the salt and the vanilla until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a 12 1/2-inch square. Trim 1/4 inch off each edge. Cut the dough into nine 4-inch squares. Brush the corners of each square with a bit of the beaten egg, then fold each corner into the center and press down gently. Transfer the squares to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Cut the tip off one corner of the filled plastic bag so you have a 1/2-inch hole. Use the bag to pipe the cheese filling onto the center of each dough square. Loosely cover the pastries with plastic wrap and let stand until slightly puffed, about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Remove the plastic and gently brush the top and sides of the dough with the beaten egg. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the sheets and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Continue to bake until pastries are puffed and deep golden brown, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 1 cup/128 grams confectioners' sugar and the milk. Let the Danish cool slightly on the sheet then drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Proof the yeast: Combine the water and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook on low speed just until combined. Let stand in the bowl until the mixture is foamy, frothy, and smells distinctly like yeast, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the milk and let stand until the butter melts and the mixture cools to 95°F.
- Scald milk: Put in pan over medium low heat and heat until bubbles appear around edges. Temp will be 180-185 degrees. Do not boil. Set aside
- Prepare the dough: Add the flour, sugar, salt, milk mixture, eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, and zest to the mixer. Mix on low speed just until combined. The dough will seem soft, but it will come together as it is kneaded. Stop the mixer and scrape the side and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Knead the dough: Increase the speed to medium and knead until smooth, 5 to 6 minutes
- Add the remaining butter: Increase the mixer speed to medium-high. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at time, waiting until each tablespoon is mostly mixed in before adding the next. Stop the mixer and scrape the side and bottom of the bowl again.
- Let the dough rise twice: Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm (between 68°F and 72°F), draft-free spot until almost doubled in volume, 30 to 60 minutes. Fold the dough to deflate it. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it rise again, until about doubled in volume from its original size, 50 to 55 minutes. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling
- Make the filling: In a food processor fitted with a metal blade (or if you are using a handheld electric mixer, in a bowl), process the cream cheese, egg, sugar, and zest until smooth and creamy, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a container, cover, and refrigerate until ready to assemble and bake.
- Prepare to bake: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375°F. Line a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Dust a work surface and rolling pin with flour
- Roll the dough: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on the surface. Roll out the dough, moving it to ensure that it won't stick and adding flour underneath if it sticks a bit, to a 12x14-inch rectangle that is 1/8-inch thick. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise 20 to 30 minutes.
- Make an egg wash: Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl; set aside.
- Fill the dough: Spoon the filling lengthwise down the center of the rectangle of dough, creating a strip of filling that is 12 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide, leaving a 1-inch border at each short end and a 4 1/4-inch border on each long end.
- Cut strips on either side of the filling: Using a very sharp, small knife or pizza cutter, cut the unfilled sides of the dough into 1 1/2-inch wide strips that are perpendicular to the line of filling (as if you were making thick fringe on either side of it); but do not detach them from the main rectangle. Make the incision into the dough about 1/4 inch from the filling. You will have 12 strips per side.
- Fold the strips: Position the baking sheet so a short end is facing you. Starting with the top left strip, fold it up and over the filling at a slight angle. Next, fold the top right strip up and over the filling, meeting and slightly crossing the first strip, making a sort of crisscross or chevron pattern. Continue alternating left and right strips so you wind up with a crisscross that covers most of the filling. Press the dough strips together firmly without squishing the filling so the strips stay together when baked. Seal the danish by pinching together the uncovered ends and the strips closest to them.
- Brush with egg wash: Using a pastry brush, liberally brush the top of the danish with the egg wash
- Bake the danish: Bake until a warm caramel brown in color, 25 to 33 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Place a large piece of parchment on a work surface and set a cooling rack over it. Slide the danish onto the cooling rack and cool completely.
- Ice the danish: When the danish is cool, whisk the lemon juice or milk and powdered sugar in a small bowl until fully incorporated. Drizzle the glaze back and forth over the danish in a zigzag pattern. Cut into slices and serve.
- Recipe Notes Scalding: To scald milk, heat it in a saucepan set over medium-low heat until tiny bubbles form at the edge of the pan, just before it simmers, about 180°F to 185°F. Be careful not to let it boil. (If you don't have a thermometer, test it with your finger; it should be warm, not uncomfortably hot.) Read this to find out why scalding is important. Mixers: If you don't have a stand mixer, a handheld electric mixer is not a good alternative for this yeast dough. You can try making these by hand, but you risk making a dense, greasy dough if you are not an expert. I have been making doughs seemingly forever, and I (almost) never do it by hand and I don't know many professional bakers who do either. This recipe is easier, most consistent, and simply all-around better when made with a stand mixer.

- Check the yeast: If you're unsure if your yeast is fresh and active, combine the yeast with 2-3 tablespoons of the milk from the overall amount and 1 tsp of sugar from the overall amount. Stir to dissolve the sugar and yeast. Allow to proof for about 10-15 minutes. The mixture should rise and look frothy. If it does not, discard the yeast and do not start until you have good, active yeast.
- Make the Pastry Dough: In a bowl of a stand mixer mix the remainder of the 1 cup of warm milk, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, 4 egg yolks, 2 tbsp of sour cream, remainder of 1/3 cup of sugar, 2 tsp of dried active yeast (or the frothy yeast mixture if you had to do step 1), and 3 cups flour together on the 3rd speed of a mixer for about ten minutes.
- Add butter & knead: Add 3/4 stick of softened butter to the dough mixture in quarters and knead for about 8 minutes or until the dough pulls away from the sides of the wall, and feels tacky to touch. If you stretch the dough, you should be able to form a thin film without it tearing.
- Let rise until doubled: Transfer the dough to a well-oiled bowl, then cover the outside of the dough with some oil as well. This will keep it from cracking and drying as it rises. Cover the bowl with a tea towel. It is best to set the dough in a warm place (between 80°F-90°F). I turn the oven to 250°F for 3 minutes, then turn it off and set my bowl with dough inside the oven with the oven light on. Top of the refrigerator or any other warm, draft-free place will work as well.
