    Key Lime Cheese Danish Pastry

    List of Ingredients




    6-1/4 to 6-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
    2 packages active dry yeast
    1-1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 cup water
    1 cup milk
    1/2 cup butter or margarine
    1 egg
    1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
    1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
    3 tablespoons lime juice
    1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon butter or margarine, melted

    Recipe



    Combine 2 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the
    yeast, and salt; set aside. In a saucepan combine water, milk, and
    the 1/2 cup butter. Heat and stir just until warm (120 degree F. to
    130 degree F.) and butter is almost melted. Add to flour mixture; add
    egg. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for 30 seconds,
    scraping bowl constantly. Beat for 3 minutes at high speed.

    Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you
    can. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough
    of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is
    smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape into a ball.

    Place in a greased bowl. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double
    (about 1 hour). Punch down. Turn out onto a floured surface. Divide
    in half. Cover; let rest for 10 minutes. Each tender sweet roll is
    filled with a luscious blend of cream cheese and lime.

    For filling, combine the cream cheese, lime peel, 2 tablespoons of
    the lime juice, and 1/2 cup of the remaining granulated sugar. Set
    aside.

    For icing, combine the powdered sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon
    lime juice, and the melted butter or margarine. Set aside.

    On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a 14x9-inch
    rectangle. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of the remaining granulated
    sugar. Starting from a long side, roll up jelly-roll style. Cut into
    12 slices; arrange slices 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking
    sheets.

    Make indentations in centers; fill each indentation with a scant
    tablespoon of the filling. Repeat with remaining dough, sugar, and
    filling. Bake in a 375 degree F. oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until
    golden. Let stand 2 minutes; drizzle with icing. Serve warm.
    Servings: 24
