Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf Recipes

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.
