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
