The Baker's Infected Eye and Other Pastries in Copenhagen

American pastry chef Milton Abel has worked at high-flying places such as Noma and The French Laundry, but in this video he visits a classic Copenhagen institution: Bosse's bakery in Østerbro, which is one of the oldest in the city. Guided by owner Jimmy Bosse, Milton gets a lesson in the secrets of the trade, knocks the stuffing out of a 4lb block of butter, and makes a delicious pastry known as the 'baker's infected eye'.

danish bakery and pastries are at a whole other level, only the rye bread takes time to truly appreciate it for what it is. nothing like danish bread, the best.

[@moesiatestecles1975]

@@joannaw2745 Most modern bakeries are boring and have the exact same items down to the detail, they are the bake off's he's referring to. But we still have traditional, high end bakeries left, only they are slightly too expensive for lower to middle class incomes so the gas stations and bread factories has taken the mantle. Other examples than Bosse could be Lagkagehuset or Emmery's and some of the diverse new kinds with altruistic purposes like being green or vegan or whatever. I'd even say our gas station bread is superior to any bake off I've had driving through Europe

Admitting to not tasting his own product is kinda disrespectful to the trade, traditions and customers imho I'm Danish and have worked part time night shifts at a local bakery from the age of 13 to 17 and in the eyes of my old boss, who had learned the trade from his father (and his father's father etc.), this guy would've been considered an imposter or possibly even an outright fraud.

[@cheapthrilll6323]

@@JizzMasterTheZeroth no. He didnt say he does not taste it. He says he doesnt eat it. That was to imply that he wont make a meal of pastry, im guessing. Notice that he was thin, and the bakery owner was very fit.

OP was just complimenting Milton on his excellent pronunciation. The fact that you read this literally as if he's actually giving him a rating is... a little bit autistic.

Bager Bosse is my local baker. Like you, I buy the Østerbrobrød (the signature bread). I also buy Hindbærsnitte, which is puff pastry with raspberry jam and icing. Very popular in Denmark, every baker has it, like the cinnamon snails. But it´s less technical.
