Instructions for Danish Dough (Emeril Live)

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the water, milk, vanilla and yeast together. With the mixer fitted with a dough hook, on low, beat the mixture for about 4 minutes to dissolve the yeast. Sift the sugar, salt, flour and cardamom together. Add this mixture and the egg yolk to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until it lightly comes together, than increase the speed to medium and beat until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl, forms a ball and limbs slightly up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl and let it rest in the refridgerator for 15 minutes. On a floured surface, plce the butter. Loghtly dudt the top of the butter with flour. Using a rolling pin, lightly pound the butter until flat. Fold the butter in half and continue to pound the butter until the butter is workable. Using your hands, shape the butter into an 8 inch square. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on a second floured surface. Roll the dough into a 16 inch square. Place the butter in the center of the dough, Fold the ends of the dough in towards the center, forming a package. Lightly press the ends into the dough, sealing the package completely. Carefully lift the package off of the surface and redust the surface with flour. Lay the package back down on the floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to avout a 24 inch rectangle. Fold one end of the dough into the center, then the other end so that it resembles a letter, and forms a square. (you should have 3 layers of dough) Place the dough in the refrigeratow and allow the dough to rest for 25 minutes. Roill out the dough a second time, forming a rectangle. Repeat the folding process from above 2 more times, making sure the dough rests between the turns. The following directions are for 2 types of danish pastries. FOR CINNAMON ROLLS Roll the dough out 1/4 inch thick. Egg wash the dough. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the egg wash.

Brush the tops of each pastry wit the egg wash and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue to bake for 10 minutes or until browned and crisp. Brush the pastries with the glaze and serve warm. FOR PINWHEELS On a floured surface, roll the dough out 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 (4inch) squares.
