Danish Twists image

My twin sister and I (we're 18) love to bake together, and this was one of the first yeast breads we tried. Any day becomes a special occasion when these rich buttery twists are on the menu! But plan ahead...the dough needs to rise overnight. -Charys Rockey, Rochelle, Texas

These Danish twists were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Danish pastries, but these twists were pretty good. The dough was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart. I would definitely make them again.
