Danish Vanilla Croissants

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Cakes and Desserts
Though croissants are French, 'Wienerbrød' (Vienna Bread), known globally as Danish pastry, is the pinnacle of laminated doughs. The technique is 'lamination': alternating butter and dough. Oven heat steams water in the butter, pushing layers apart before setting. Vanilla and caramelized sugar create a candy crust on the soft interior.
