There it is… My Daring Baker’s challenge – Danish Braid. It looks lovely, doesn’t it, or is it just me? I am so happy that I got to finish my challenge, and it’s almost perfect. It is supposed to have chocolate or sweet fruit filling but here I have spicy beef veggie filling. Now I can say that I love my spicy danish pastry puff a lot!!
