Compare to my first danish loaf recipe, this is much crispier but the other version is much softer. And of coz, the dough is much harder to handle. This recipe is actually best to use in danish pastry and it's so delicious. And I have another one coming up soon. So, stay tune!
Takes a lot of time to bake these but so little time to consume! Not fair huh? Lovely loaves Kristy, can imagine the smell in your house now:D
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious and what a great presentation! Just wish I had a slice right now!
ReplyDeleteKristy...you seem to have a real knack for baked goods with dough concoctions like these. The color and texture looks amazing ;o)
ReplyDeleteExceptional presentation.
Ciao,
Claudia
Gorgeous loaf! Does pandan work with almost any bread? Or maybe you just make it work all the time@
ReplyDeleteThe bread look wonderful. Just like the one from the bakery shop. Great idea in making it yourself as i remember paying nearly RM10.00 for a loaf back in KL.

It looks fabulous! I don't think I'm able to make one at this stage. I need to polish up my skill first.
ReplyDeleteYour braids are beautiful, Kristy. I love the color and wish I had a slice or two for dinner this evening. I can well imagine that this is a delicate and light pastry. A lot of folding and rolling is involved.
ReplyDeleteHi dear Kristy, You look so pro with this loaf. I really really want to take a bite! You are such an awesome baker :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Got to try this soon. Thanx for the recipe :)
