Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond paste
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.25 cup sliced almonds
• 1 serving egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it is lukewarm (about 100°F). Stir in the packet of active dry yeast and let it proof for 5 minutes, until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and blend into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Whisk the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and yeast mixture together. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 6

In the meantime, prepare the filling by blending the almond paste, powdered sugar, and heavy cream together until smooth.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the almond filling evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the long edges. Pinch the seam to seal and tuck in the ends.

Step 10

Place the log seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the entire surface with the egg wash and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and flaky. Allow the Danish Bubble to cool slightly before slicing into even pieces.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Optional: Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
