Cut off the top corners and cut out notches in the bottom of your pastry. Use kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter to cut an equal number of 1-inch wide strips diagonally down the sides of the pastry, leaving at least 1/2-inch before you reach the filling. Braid the pastry strips by folding them in, alternating between sides.
10
Make an egg wash by briskly beating 1 egg and 1 Tbsp of water with a fork. Brush the braided pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 400˚F for ⏱️ 25-28 min or until top is golden brown.
Coarse sugar (I used raw sugar)

Once the braided danish is cooled to room temp, mix 1/3 powdered sugar with 1/2 Tbsp milk and drizzle over the pastry.
