Cream Cheese Bread
A rich and soft bread made with cream cheese, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or toasting!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 cup cream cheese (diced)
- ¼ cup margarine
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until foamy.
- Add diced cream cheese, softened margarine, beaten egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the bread flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (1–1.5 hours).
- Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in the greased loaf pan. Let it rise again for 30–45 minutes.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
