The Pinwheel

Here’s another very simple one that anyone can do in the comfort of their own living room: the pinwheel. As with the cheese Danish, start by rolling out about a pound and a half of dough into a rectangle about a quarter inch thick (the exactly dimensions aren’t important.

Starting with a rough square…

…cut slits in the dough from (almost) the center outward.

Bring up the right-side corner of each resulting “triangle” to the center of the dough piece and press it down lightly.

And you’re done!

Proof like classic sweet rolls. Similarly make a depression in the center of the proofed Danish with the back of a spoon, then fill it with a teaspoon or so of whatever jam you like. Brush with egg wash and bake like classic sweet rolls.
