How To Make a danish kringle
-
Step 1Filling: Combine all of the filling ingredients in a bowl
-
Step 2Dough: Mix up the milk, egg, crumbled yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in 1 cup of the flour until there are no lumps. Work in another 1/2 cup of the flour, mixing until there are no lumps again. Place another 1/2 cup of flour on a table and run some flour over a rolling pin (do not use any more flour after this point). Turn the dough onto the table and sprinkle with some of this remaining flour on the table. Slice up some of the butter and put on top of the dough. Fold the dough over the butter then roll it in with the rolling pin. Add more butter and continue in the same way. Keep folding and rolling the butter in a little at a time until the butter is all in. Roll the dough until it is elastic in size and about the shape/size of the cookie sheet.

Step 3Spread the filling all over the dough. Fold the dough over and pinch the ends.
-
Step 4Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the filled and folded dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Let it rise until it is double in bulk. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle on the sliced almonds and sugar, to taste.

Step 5Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. Enjoy!
