I know, it's not baking. But ... it's cooking! With flour!
I can't bake every day, we can't eat that much.

We freeze a pasta flat on parchment then put in bags we did ravioli.

A quick posting of recipe ingredients. Copy, and Paste. I did double the quantity to make the bake below.
The quantity in below recipe will make 12 individuual cakes. I made 24, so my reaason to double it.

Dough ingredients.
3½ cups flour. ( I used 450 cake flour. All-purpose flour is 500)
1 cup milk (warmed to 115°F to proof yeast)
2 TBS butter
2 eggs
1 tsp Vanilla liquid
½ cup sugar
1TBS yeast, or one envelope.

My play, by play for this bake.
Dough is somewhat stiff for this bake.

I used pie filling as my fruit topping.

After a first rise, rolled out into 2 logs,,, Cut each into 12 individual rounds. Made rounds with indentation in center. Filled with pie filling. Sprinkled with streusel . Now for second rise as oven warms up.

Below are the cherry filled ones

Pans are cookie sheets.

Out of oven after nicely tanned. Baked @350°F for about 25 minutes.

Checked for DONE with thermometer. Toothpick method also works fine.

Cherry filled

Made this Jell-O Cheesecake. Just the cheese portion.

Placed into a container, and refrigerated for a few hours.

Then used a scooper, to place cheese topping on top of Danishes.

Very delicious and the cheese really made delicious topping as well.
Added the cheese just before serving. This way,, it was an option to have it or not.
