Knead the flour, milk, egg, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt into a soft dough.
Let the dough rise at room temperature for 40 minutes.
Wrap the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
Press the butter between two sheets of paper into a rectangular slab.
Roll out the cold dough, enclose the butter inside, and fold into thirds.
Roll and fold the dough two more times, chilling for 20 minutes between each fold.
Cut the dough into squares, place apricot jam in the centers, and close the edges.
Brush with egg yolk and bake at 190°C for 25 minutes.
💡 Tip: If the butter softens, do not force the dough; chill it for 20 minutes, since cold is the best way to save layers in a home kitchen.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Danish pastries warm, with unsweetened filter coffee or Turkish coffee.
