My danishes rose a ton in the oven instead of staying flat?
I tried making Peach Cobbler Danishes and everything went great for the most part and they tasted really good but they puffed up a ton in the oven. I’ve seen recipes online of people making danishes with a brioche style dough and so that’s what I was going for. I found a recipe that had the dough base I wanted but I changed out the fruit but it didn’t really look how I wanted it to.
This is the base that I used
Brioche Dough
4 cups All purpose flour
1 ½ cups Warm milk
2 ¼ teaspoon Instant yeast
½ cup Granulated sugar
⅛ teaspoon Salt
1 Large egg room temp, beaten
6 tablespoons Unsalted butter softened
And I pressed down the middles with my fingers and made about a two inch divet
These photos are before the oven and after also the photo from the online recipe I got.
Did It need more filling to hold it down, could I have not pressed the centers hard enough or is it something in the recipe ?
Edit: Thank you to everyone who replied! Essentially it seems my issue is that they’re under proofed and needed to be pressed down more! Also what I was going for is called a Kolach :)
This is the full recipe for the buns! also this is the link to the original recipe I was was going off of but I changed the fruit filling and found a different cheese danish filing because I had those ingredients on hand lol

Instructions in the Falasteeni Foodie link! I rolled each ball into 75-85g balls instead of 100g
Cream Cheese Filling
8 oz Cream cheese
1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice
Peach Compote
8 oz bag frozen peaches
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice
-I let them thaw slightly until I could chop them up into smaller pieces
-Combine everything in a saucepan over medium high heat until the peaches are all cooked through and the syrup is a slightly thicker consistency, if not thickening, sift in a tsp of cornstarch to thicken.
