""My family thinks this delicious danish is a real treat. It's a treat to make, too, since you mix it up at night, then just roll it out and bake the next morning." From taste of home."

directions

  • In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add eggs, butter, sour cream and sugar. Gradually add 2 cups flour and salt; beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour (dough will be soft and sticky). Place in a greased bowl. Cover; refrigerate overnight.
  • For filling, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead two to three times. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 16 x 10 inch oval and place on greased baking sheets. Spread 1 1/4 cups filling over each oval to within 1 inch of edges. Fold longest side over filling; pinch edges to seal. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 375 for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Spread preserves on top. Dust with confectioners sugar. Store in the refrigerator.

  1. WOW! This is an awesome recipe! I didn't have apricot so I used seedless raspberry and it was AWESOME! I read your profile and it says you're 17??? This recipe seems way beyond your years, you're very accomplished for your age! Thanks for the recipe. I think I'll try it without any jelly next time, just a straight cheese danish. I'll let you know how it turns out! (BTW, I work in Bremen!)
     
  2. I meant to take a picture of this, but it was gone too quickly! I took both loaves to a church potluck and everyone raved about it. Next time I might do one apricot and one with strawberry preserves. update: made it again with strawberry and it was YUMMY!
