So Easy to Enjoy!
Note: It is best to store Butter Braid® pastries in a deep freezer.
- Let rise 10-12 hours or until double in size.
- Set out at bedtime, bake in the morning! Or set out first thing in the morning to bake for the evening meal!
- Homemade taste with very little work!
- Take frozen Braid out of bag and then put in a 9" x 13" greased, non-insulated, metal pan. Set frosting pack aside until baking is complete. Tip: cookie sheets work well
- Let pastry sit out 10 to 12 hours to thaw and rise until about double in size. For best results spray plastic wrap with cooking spray and then lay over the pastry. (Ideal room temperature 70 degrees F.)
- Bake at 325 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Oven temperatures may vary therefore baking times and/or temperatures may require adjustment.
- Let pastry cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing (an electric knife works the best).
- After slicing, cut corner of frosting packet and drizzle over top of the pastry.
The Shortcut Method of Preparing Butter Braid® Pastries
We recommend the above methods for best results, but If you get into a bind, there is quicker preparation method.
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees F.
- Turn off oven. Place braid in oven to thaw and rise.
- Let dough rise 2 to 4 hours, until it doubles in size. Check every 20 minutes after first hour to make sure the braid doesn't rise too much.
