Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). In another bowl, mix flour and salt; add melted butter and yeast mixture. Knead until smooth (8-10 minutes).
  2. Let it rise: Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  3. Make the filling: Mix softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and chopped strawberries.
  4. Shape your bread: Roll out dough into a rectangle (1/4 inch thick). Spread filling evenly, cut into strips or squares, and stack vertically in a greased loaf pan.
  5. Bake to perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
