Long before the challenge was announced, I remember reading about homemade croissant bread. It involved "folding in cold chunks of butter" in "layers, repeatedly for long hours" to make that nice flaky bread. And then thought, NO- I'll just buy croissants in the refrigerator section.
So, in hindsight, it really wasn't that bad. It only took a whole day, and I WASN'T rolling out dough the entire time. Ha- ONLY a whole day. (that includes rise time, rest time, and repeat about 7 times.... yada yada yada...)
I made two danishes and used the extra dough to make croissants. The dough had a wonderful hint of orange and vanilla. The first danish had a strawberry-rhubarb filling- my favorite! And the second had a almond maple cream cheese filling. Both delicious.
I certainly think I'll be making this again. Thanks Daring Bakers!

Looks delicious.
Oops! I let the cat out of the bag.....I could have sworn it said the 27th!
Isn't there any way you can hide this post until the actual posting date? Not to be pedantic or anything but this is against the rules.
Great Job! Your braid looks perfect!!

Your braid looks great - even if you did let the bread out of the bag :)
