Directions

Prepare the Dough

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in the bowl of your mixer. Add milk, oil, sugar, salt, and half the flour. Beat on medium speed for three minutes. Stir in remaining flour and dough enhancer, if using.

  2. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about six to eight minutes.

  3. Place dough in a large greased garbage bag and close tightly. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour.

Assemble

  1. Punch dough down and divide in half. Roll each half into a large rectangle. Sprinkle with half the chips and press gently into the dough. Spread butter evenly over dough.

  2. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over butter. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 20 slices. Repeat with the other half.

  3. Combine brown sugar and cream in a small bowl. Whisk together until well combined. If necessary, microwave for a few seconds to melt the sugar.

Bake

  1. Line two nine- by 13-inch (20- by 30-centimeter) baking pans with Gefen Parchment Paper. Pour half the syrup into each pan, spreading evenly. Arrange the Danishes cut-side up over syrup. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 50 minutes.

  2. After 35 minutes, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Bake Danishes for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Top with remaining chocolate chips.
