Danish Hand Bread

Danish Hand Bread

Overview

Last year, I remember one time I was rushing to study in the morning and didn’t have breakfast. I went to the Moulin Rouge in the back and bought a Danish hand-made bread. I found that it was actually the normal Danish bread recipe. As I was eating, I was thinking: The stuff in this is definitely not animal butter, it’s definitely margarine! Because animal butter is more expensive, and bakeries will never use high-cost ingredients! The oil wrapped in the bread should be margarine, which is flaky margarine, what professional chefs often call sweet flakes. There is a kind of trans fatty acid in margarine, which has a very bad impact on human health. I haven't bought one since. This is breakfast for my husband. Although it was my first time to make Danish hand-pulled bread, it was basically a success.
