This is a really quick and easy bread to prepare for your family breakfast or brunch. On weekends Carlos always like something sweet with his morning coffee so I will usually bake this. You can make and bake this in half an hour. The secret is using the store bought Pillsbury bread stick dough. I will always have a tube or two in my fridge for a quick and easy bread. You can make this into sweet or savory bread. For this bread I added cream cheese and blueberry to the filling.Ingredients :
6 oz of low fat cream cheese
1 egg - separated
3 tbsp of powder sugar
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberry
1 (11 oz) tube of bread stick dough
Glaze
1/2 cup of powder sugar
2 tbsp of lemon juice

1) Preheat over to 350 degree F. In a bowl combined soft cream cheese, powder sugar and egg yolk. Mix until well combined.2) Remove breadstick dough from the tube, unroll it and separate the dough and you will have two rectangles. Join the dough up by placing both dough rectangles horizontally on a lightly greased baking sheet. Press the steam together (refer to pix 1)
3)Spread cream cheese mixture onto the centre of the dough. Sprinkle the blueberry on top of the cream cheese. (pix 2) Separate the dough perforations up to the cheese mixture (You might need a scissors for this) Slightly pull and stretch the dough strips.
4) Start from the top and bring and braid dough strip to cover the filling. Make sure to tuck and seal both ends of the loaf (pix 3)
5) Beat the egg white and brush it all over the loaf. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool the loaf.
6) Combined the powder sugar and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle all over the cool loaf before serving.
Looks yummilicious that I want to steal one piece from the screen! :P
ReplyDeleteHi first time here....nice blog and this blueberry delight looks heavenly. Is there anything else I can use instead of the bueberries as these are not easily available in India.
ReplyDeletelooks heavenly!i must get some pre-made bread dough,but have never noticed it in the supermarket here..
ReplyDeletevery creative idea.I will never think of using store bought ready dough to make anything good and simple,maybe my brains rust or doesn't move dunno how to pusing!!lol!
ReplyDeletesounds perfect to me! I love the way you folded the bread strips! It looks very professional on the finish! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, simple and easy. I came across the Pillsbury frozen dough but it's rather expensive here and not available everywhere.
ReplyDeleteaduh, salivating already. wonder if they have instant bread-dough in KL ... cos I never looked out for one. Can this be eaten warm?
ReplyDeleteGert,

ReplyDeleteSedapnya Gert...pity sini takde ready made dough or not I would go right now and buy it to make this. I have a bit of a sweet tooth myself, he! he!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautifully soft. You could sleep on it if it wasn't so sticky. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow easy does that look. I would have never thought you used a bread loaf. Looks like it worked really well. I would love to try this.

ReplyDeleteGiirl, do you like the bread?
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog today and this recipe is amazing! If I had the ingredients, I would get up and make it right now!
ReplyDeleteHi, I know you're probably sick at answering this 'bread dough' question lol, but I dont want to use puff pastry.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I can find it at my supermarket, which section would it be in? (I live in Melbourne,AUS, if that helps).
Thank you
I've had this page bookmarked forever and I was finally going to make this today for an all-girls super bowl party- but alas, no plain breadstick dough to be found, only the garlic kind. Determined to still enjoy blueberry bliss, i bought biscuit dough and filled each one with the cream cheese mix and blueberries, and baked them up like individual blueberry loaves. I was skeptical but it turned out so well! My friends went crazy for them. Thanks so much for the recipe, and anyone who can't find breadstick dough- try it with biscuits!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I hope you try this out.
ReplyDeleteiizam, here in US we find this at the asile where they put the cheese and eggs. Not sure about it in Australia.
Rasaina, using biscuits is a great idea too. Will try it out the next time. Thanks for the tips.
I just got through making this bread. I did actually use frozen strawberries instead of blueberries. I just had some on hand and did not have any blueberries. It was incredible. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
ReplyDeleteHi..thanks for the recipe!! i just made this with different fillings n it's awesome =D but, i hv one question..could you please tell me how long this bread can last? will 2 days be fine?
ReplyDeleteChristina, I should try it out with strawberry too the next time I make this.
ReplyDeleteMei, we normally finish this within 2-3 days. If you want to keep it longer you might need to keep it in the fridge.
made it --lol with pillsbury cresant roll --an it looks great !! taste great and cannot wait till i can get a tube of dough
ReplyDeleteI have frozen cherries waitin in the freezer
Very light dessert for diabetic
