Danish Kringle Recipe

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and lower in saturated fat.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

fruit filling

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Fresh fruit adds natural sweetness and flavor.

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit until frothy.

Add melted butter, eggs, and extracts to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.

Spread cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving edges clear.

Add fruit filling on top of the cream cheese.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a log shape and pinch ends to seal.

Place the log on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and shape into a pretzel or oval.

Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Cool slightly, then drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
