Who knew I could make laminated dough. That's the thing about Daring Bakers, you have this whole team of people cheering you on, comforting you, giving you ideas to do the things you wouldnt normally do on your own.
A few years ago I saw Julia Childs make laminated dough with a guest chef. I thought to myself there is no way I could do that. I wouldn't want to spend all that time only to have it fail. But fail it did not. It succeeded. All you need is the Daring Bakers (wink, wink).
Kelly of Sass & Veracity of picked this recipe and worked with Ben of What’s Cookin’?. The two of them provided guidance along the way. Great pick and great job! The recipe is quite lengthy so I will refer you to either of these two lovely Daring Bakers! So click on their site and you will find their yummies and then click on Daring Bakers to go check out all the flavors that are possible.
I made my filling with pastry cream and blackberry puree. My other braid was pastry cream and apple pumpkin butter filled. Most everyone preferred the blackberry one. If I were to do it all over again, and I am sure I will, I would do a frangipan one and a cream cheese one. Oh the possibilites that await!
Roll out the dough and spread the butter.
Even though I folded it wrong my end product was delicious. Who knew?
Starting the braid.
Inserting lots of yummy bling to make your taste buds happy.
The braid and the final product.
Here is what you can do with any leftover dough. I am sure there will be a mouth ready to eat it!!
