  • 1 Egg (lightly beaten)
  • ½ cup Milk (lukewarm)
  • ¼ cup Water (lukewarm)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons Active yeast (instant)

Creating The Delicious Cheese Filling:

  • 8 oz  Cream cheese

Instructions
 

For Making The Dough:

  • Combine sugar, lukewarm milk, water, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit until it's bubbly.
  • Add remaining dough ingredients (flour, butter, egg, salt, vanilla). Mix and knead into soft dough.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, covered with a damp towel. Let it rise for 35-50 minutes until puffy.

Creating The Delicious Cheese Filling:

  • As the dough rises, make filling: combine cream cheese, sugar, egg, flour, and vanilla.
  • Mix until the filling is smooth. Chill until needed.

Assembling the Bread:

  • Place risen dough on a floured surface, and rest for 5 minutes.
  • Roll dough into a 16x12-inch rectangle.
  • Put the dough in a lined baking pan.
  • Spread cheese filling down the center third.
  • Cut 1-3-inch strips from the sides.
  • Fold ends over filling, then strips at an angle across.

For The Baking:

  • Allow braids to rise, covered, for an hour until they nearly double in size.
  • Coat braids with egg yolk-water glaze.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30-35 mins until golden.
  • Cool on a wire rack post-oven.
  • Slice and savor your delicious bread!

Notes

  • Use fresh bread for the best texture.
  • Try different cheeses for unique flavors.
  • Brush melted butter on top before baking for a golden finish.
  • Don't put too much cheese; balance is key.
  • Watch it while baking to avoid overcooking.
