Brioche with Cream Cheese

Hi my friends,

I would like to thank everyone who comes across my blog , leaves messages or just watches my videos. I apologize to my blogger friends and to those who write to me, if I don't visit you, it's because I am going on vacation and I am working really hard in order to post to you all the recipes that I still have in my pc before leaving.

So please understand that I have thousands of things to do and not much time to do them.

 

Let's move on to the recipe.

Last time I presented to you a Braid filled with chocolate CLIC .

As I told you before, I divided the dough into 3, I stuffed one

with chocolate bars (see the pictures below) and the others

with cream cheese, which is the recipe for today.

 

INGREDIENTS :

For the dough, see my previous recipe

Filling :

* 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese

* 3/4 cup sugar

* 1 egg

* 1 tsp almond extract

* a pinch of salt

Egg Wash :

* 1 egg white

* 1 tsp water

Beat all the filling ingredients until smooth.

Roll the dough out forming a rectangle.

Spread filling all over within 1/2 in.of edges.

Roll up jelly-roll style, tuck ends under,

place seams side down.

With a sharp knife, make deep slashes across the top of the loaf.

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 h.

Bake at 375 F for 20-25 min or until golden brown.

I brushed one with egg wash and I left the other one plain, 

in order to show you the difference as you can see.

The next recipe, I will give you the result of your votes and my decision regarding written recipes on the blog or on the video.
