Thanks all - I am thinking the cinnamon roll dough may be as close as I am going to get, and will play around with a cinnamon/apple filling.

Yum-yums are similar to the cronut - deep fried donut dough, but thanks for looking Thanks for the suggestion - by "plain", do you mean with no folds at all? From the same page, http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Danish-Pastry-Apple-Bars-II/Detail.aspx?prop24=RD_RelatedRecipes LOOKS to have the same sort of structure though. I had a read through Rose Beranbaum's Bread Bible last night, and from her description, it would be pretty close to her Monkey Bread dough inasmuch as it is "akin to sticky buns"... so might well take that as my next attempt.

sure... i think it was from tesco, and was some sort of sweet dough, though not as "cakey" as a brioche. the filling was a fairly standard sweet apple filling - as you would get most apple breakfast pastries. Shape-wise it was rectangular, with the filling enclosed, a white sugar glaze (again, as for most similar pastries), with flaked almonds on top. So, basically I am wondering which doughs people could recommend - sweet, not as cakey as a brioche (not sure of the technical way to put this), but also more moist than brioche. Thanks (PS - as a new member, i cannot post again for 24 hours, so bear with me )

Hi all - been following the forum for a while, and joined today as I could think of no better place to ask my question ... I have been trying to find a recipe for a while, but have run out of places to turn. I am looking for a particular type of danish pastry recipe ... for want of a better description. For those in the UK it used to be sold in one of the supermarket instore bakeries, and can still be found in high street ones, but I cannot nail it down online. The "pastry" in question is more bread-like in texture, and filled with apple - unfortunately all I can find are recipes for laminated doughs, with varying degrees of flakiness. The closest i have found online so far is this almond-filled pastry, which seems to be a combination of pastry and choux. http://www.food.com/recipe/almond-danish-puff-146750 Any ideas will be welcome, as this search is driving me mad thanks
