How long can Blueberry Danish Twist last?

You can store your pastry in a plastic bag for up to a week in the refrigerator. Make sure to remove any air that's left in the bag to preserve freshness.

Can you use the recipe without blueberries?

Yes, it will be a lightly sweetened brioche bread.

What else can brioche bread be used for?

This brioche Danish recipe is versatile. You can also use this recipe for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and can make sandwich bread, burger buns, bread pudding, or even banana bread, just add bananas!

Can you freeze brioche dough?

Yes, if you have leftover dough or would like to make your dough ahead of time you can keep it in an airtight bag. Additionally, you can preserve your dough to maintain quality for up to 3 months as long as you wrap it with wax paper, coat it with flour, and seal it well.

Can I make these Brioche Danish twists the night before?

Yes, I would recommend it! I found the longer the dough sits the tastier it is! Make your dough the night before and allow it to rise in the fridge overnight. It's easier to form your pastry when the dough is chilled. Simply take it out of the fridge and proceed with your recipe. You can also prepare your pastries and line them up on your cooking pan and cover them with clear wrap, and store them in the fridge overnight as well.

Can brioche bread be used for French toast?

Yes, this recipe would be great for French toast! I would recommend allowing it to sit for a day at room temperature in a covered cake dish before making your French toast.

Can I toast brioche bread?

Yes, you can lightly toast brioche bread but don't over-toast them. It won't taste too good when they are over-toasted since they are lightly sweetened.

Instructions

Start by softening the butter. In a standing mixer w/hook, add milk, yeast, and sugar. Allow this to sit until the yeast becomes foamy. Add remaining eggs, sugar, 4 cups of flour, and salt. With a mixer, mix on low speed for 5 minutes until it forms into a sticky dough, and cut butter into small cubes. While mixing, add 2 cubes of butter at a time. Make sure the cubes are fully dissolved and mixed before adding another set of cubes.
Gradually add the last cup of flour. Mix on medium speed for 10 min until the dough comes
together and pull away from the bowl. Drizzle oil inside a bowl, place the dough inside, and cover with a damp towel. Leave aside for 1.5-2 hours. (Dough must double in size.)
Start to preheat the oven to 390 degrees. After the dough rises, take it out and put it onto a flat surface. Deflate it gently and divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll all 4 pieces into a ball. Roll dough out with a rolling pin about 6’’ x 4’’ in length making sure to cut around the edges of your rolled dough to make them with clean and straight edges.
To make the frosting, add cream cheese, egg white, vanilla, and powdered sugar, and mix until it becomes creamy. Roll out a second dough the same size as the first one. Apply a thin layer of frosting onto your first dough, then add fresh blueberries, then place the second dough on top of the bottom layer and blueberries.
Cut the dough from the center, leaving about ¼ ‘’ from the top. Press down gently on the sides of the dough to close. Carefully fold both ends of the dough and twist together. Fold both tips under to form a knot.
Place the pastry on a non-stick baking sheet and place them 3″ away from each other. Bake the pastry for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. May need to be baked longer depending on the oven. Place pastry on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Drizzle frosting on top and enjoy!
