Danish Braid Baking Class

with Kate Mudge
April 23, 5-7:30pm
First Lutheran Church kitchen, Battle Lake

A perfect treat for Mother's Day--or anytime you want to wow your family & friends with a bakery-worthy breakfast dessert. In this hands-on class, you'll learn how to make a classic Danish braid from start to finish. We'll use a shortcut lamination method that creates beautiful, buttery layers without the fuss of traditional pastry techniques. You'll mix and knead your own dough, learn how to incorporate butter for flakiness, create delicious fillings, and shape a stunning braid that looks impressive (but is absolutely doable for the home baker!)

You'll choose your own filling from two delicious options: Lemon curd & raspberry OR Lemon cream cheese & blueberry. Each person will leave with a freshly baked Danish braid, warm from the oven, extra dough to take home so you can make another one the next day, and the confidence to recreate this "fancy-looking" yet totally achievable pastry anytime you like. With its sweet cheese filling and buttery, flaky layers, this pastry braid is nearly irresistible---and after this class, you'll be able to make it yourself with ease. Perfect for holidays, brunch gatherings, or just treating people you love.
