Daring Bakers!!

Found the brill Daring Bakers while flikr and blog hopping in may and just had to join!

June's Challenge, hosted by Kelly and Ben was a Danish Braid, what a challenge!! First time i made pastry and reading the instructions had me nervous!!
It was soooo much fun tho and i will deff make it again. Adj loved it and was so impressed... gotta admit I was impressed too.



made the yummy apple filling and what a treat!


look at the scrumminess of pastry and caramelised apple!!


Hmmmm.... how many WW points in a slice???

*edit* Forgot to add,
I used 1/2 the recipie and made one plait, changed small bit of dough recipie (orange juice as am allergic to citrus fruits esp oranges, used a little syrup and water for the liquid, no cardomon so used some permento instead - my spice of the month:) )used the apple filling but added extra spices.!*edit*
The pastry making has really given me the confidence to try new things which is one of the reasons I joined DB.... watch this space.

Thanks for the challenge hunnies!
