Chocolate Drizzled Danish Pastry
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 package of active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together the milk, sugar, salt, butter, egg, and 1 cup of flour. Add the yeast mixture and remaining flour to make a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to a 12x9 inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 squares.
- Place a spoonful of chocolate chips in the center of each square, then fold the corners to the center and pinch to seal.
- Place the pastries on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the pastries for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the warm pastries and allow them to cool before serving. Enjoy!
The history of Danish pastry dates back to the 19th century when Austrian bakers brought their techniques to Denmark. The flaky, buttery pastry quickly became popular and evolved into the delicious treat we know today. The addition of a chocolate drizzle adds a modern twist to this classic pastry, creating a delightful combination of rich flavors. Renowned Danish chefs like Claus Meyer and Mette Blomsterberg have elevated the art of pastry-making, incorporating innovative ingredients and techniques. While traditional Danish bakeries in Copenhagen continue to serve authentic pastries, the addition of chocolate drizzle has become a popular variation worldwide. For the best version of this dish, seek out bakeries that prioritize high-quality chocolate and masterful pastry craftsmanship. The key to achieving the perfect Danish pastry with chocolate drizzle lies in the delicate balance of flakiness, buttery richness, and decadent chocolate sweetness. Whether enjoyed in a cozy café in Denmark or homemade with love, the chocolate-drizzled Danish pastry is a delightful indulgence for any sweet tooth.
