Andrea – Just read your blog ‘Coming Out’ perhaps there was a better place to ask but what was the outcome of your biopsy?

I also missed the step telling us to braid the danish on the parchment covered baking sheet. Looks like we both lucked out anyway.

Hope your biopsy came out ok. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Great job, Andrea!!! Thank you, also, for sharing your story about your illness. I have a very close friend who is suffering from similar symptoms & she is so saddened by the disabling effect and lack of diagnostics. I will keep you in my prayers. Your braid is beautiful & I’m so glad you had the chance to work on this challenge. You really outdid yourself!

Your braid looks great! I love the idea of cherry.

I hope everything went ok with the biopsy.

you got beautiful, flaky layers! great job, esp getting it done in such a short period of time! you can easily make the filling while you are waiting to chill the dough between turns.

i’m sorry to hear about your health problems. hopefully it’s just hypothyroidism and you’ll start to take the pill and everything will be better sending good vibes your way that the biopsy results are good

I wondered if I was loosing my memory, unable to remember if I had read about your challenge or not. It was worth the wait as your braid is beautiful (and if it makes you feel any better, I made my second one, my savory braid, and did the same thing, cutting my braid before it hit the baking sheet! What a pain!)
Good luck on the test, btw.

Andrea, you are not alone in assembling the braid and then finding that it should have been done on the baking sheet…I did it too. The perils of baking at 9 pm when the brain is not too swift. For the same reason, I didn’t notice that I was supposed to divide the dough in half to make two…so I made a humongous braid…and we ate every bite
Hope the biospy goes well and you get good answers. Will say prayers for you, too.
