The Truth About Danish Pastry and the Diabetic Friendly Bakery

Desserts not only make a meal more exciting. Overall, desserts are simple foods that have the ability to make life a little sweeter than the usual. Cakes and pies are the on the top of the list when it comes to this. However, aside from cakes and pies, there are other desserts that are really irresistible to the taste. One of which comes from Denmark. They call it Fruit Danish.

What is a Danish Pastry? Where did it exactly come from? How healthy is a it?

Basically, a Danish Pastry was said to originate in Vienna and is popular as a sweet pastry treat. It was called wienerbrod, a term which translates as Viennese Bread. Known in Spanish speaking countries as factures, the Danish Pastry is called facturas.

It was believed that it came from Denmark and its popularity reached its neighboring countries in the Scandinavian region. Each country made its version of this popular pastry.

A Danish Pastry is made from the usual ingredients of a pastry like eggs, milk, yeast and flour. The amount of butter is greater than the usual to give that extra flavor in the pastry. Once the dough is made, it is then thinly rolled out. Melted butter is spread on the thin dough and folded in many layers. This process is done to make the dough easy for use later on. However, it is repeated to come up with a pastry that is flaky and fluffy. More butter is spread for flavor. As for the shaping of the pastry, the common Danish Pastry has a circle in the middle to hold the toppings in place. Other bakers make the pastry in spirals or figure-eights for variety.

Adding to the taste of the Danish Pastry is its topping. A wide selection of toppings can be added to make these delights more flavorful. Common toppings include sweet additions like chocolate, custard and icing. There are also toppings that come with a tangy twist such as fruits or jam. For a creamier taste, some go for cream cheese.

Of course, as much as anyone would like to have Danish Pastry, the sweetness and the calorie content that this pastry offers is an issue. For healthier options, specialized bakeries, such as the diabetic friendly bakery use alternatives in their ingredients. Instead of using ordinary flour, they use the more nutritious version of it which is the whole wheat flour. When it comes to sweeteners, ordinary sugars only load up to the calories so they use alternative sweeteners such as xylitol.

These options provide a healthy way to enjoy the Danish Pastry. Health conscious people as well as diabetics are now able to eat Danish Pastry without the guilt when they visit the diabetic friendly bakery.
