How To Make a danish kringle

• 1

  Filling: Combine all of the filling ingredients in a bowl
• 2

  Dough: 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.
