What it is

Wienerbrød: the laminated pastry the world calls 'Danish' — buttery layers wrapped around almond remonce, custard or jam, iced and eaten for breakfast and celebration. Ingredients: flour, milk, yeast, sugar, eggs, butter (a whole block for laminating), almond paste filling (remonce), vanilla custard, icing, flaked almonds. Recipe: 1) Make a yeast dough; chill. 2) Laminate with butter in folds (27 layers is classic). 3) Shape into spirals, combs and pockets with remonce. 4) Proof, fill with custard, bake golden; ice while warm. Serve: with coffee at bakeries from dawn; day-old is unthinkable. Flavor: shattering butter layers, sweet almond heart. History: Viennese bakers brought lamination to Copenhagen during an 1850 bakers' strike — hence 'Vienna bread' in Danish, 'Danish' everywhere else. See also: Smørrebrød, Frikadeller.
