Most worth-the-work Family Holiday Recipe! Danish Pastry Wreath Recipe

Friday, December 24th, 2010
To pull my mom’s leg we joke that the Danish Pastry Wreath is my Aunt’s recipe and it gets my mom going because it was originally a recipe that she found in a 1960’s or 70’s cooking magazine.  The proper credit to the right person for this Danish Wreath is a clue straight off the bat that the Danish is remembered and desired by all of my family members on Christmas.  Admittedly, the Danish takes a couple of days to make unless you want to cram all day long.  Also, it takes a bit of help from a friend with some baking experience if you haven’t done much bread baking in the past, but it’s worth it!
We typically serve the Danish with an egg casserole on Christmas morning.  Enjoy!
