## **📜 History & Inspiration**
Danishes originated in Austria but became famous in Denmark, where bakers perfected the art of laminated dough. This recipe puts a modern twist on the classic by using brioche (a rich, buttery French bread) as the base, adding a wild blueberry swirl, and topping it with coffee cake streusel for extra texture.
Wild blueberries, smaller and more intense than cultivated ones, have been enjoyed for centuries by Native Americans and Europeans for their sweet-tart flavor and health benefits.
