Sunflower Bread (Strawberry Cream Cheese)

Hello!

I have another pull-apart bread recipe to share today.

The basic recipe is the same that I have shared before, for making Chocolate Cream Cheese Brioch, if you missed that one, here is the link https://steemit.com/ocd-resteem/@indorecipe/how-to-make-pull-apart-bread-chocolate-cream-cheese-brioche.

So many possibility from one basic recipe so I keep this recipe for good :D

You can just change the filling, shape the bread differently, and you will get new kinds of breads, you know :D And for this version, I shaped the bread into sunflower!

1 cup lukewarm milk (about 35 seconds heated in microwave)
2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon flour
3 1/2 cup flour
a pinch of salt
1/3 cup sugar
2 yolks
5 tablespoon butter, room temperature
250 g Philadelphia strawberry cream cheese spread

Method

Mix milk, sugar, (the 1 tbsp) flour and yeast, let bloom for 10-15 minutes.
Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the center, add in yolk, butter, and pour in yeast mixture. Mix with either wooden spoon or your hands. Knead and let rest covered in warm place for 20 minutes.

Once dough is rested, slice into 5 portions instead 4.
Roll flat each, spread with cream cheese and top with another flat dough. Shape into a nice round using pizza cutter as shown on picture, then place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Make slices as shown on picture, without cutting through to outer dough.
Pull and fold out slices from middle as shown on picture.
Repeat method for rolling and filling for the other 2 portions of dough.
Shape it round with pizza cutter, and slice again as previous.
This time, do not pull and fold just yet, but move this stack into the center top of the previous stack (see picture).
Pull and fold out slices as shown on picture. You will have petals by now.

With the last portion, roll into a ball and flattened with hands, then place in the center of the petals.
Brush with egg whites and sprinkle the middle part with ground walnut.
Bake at preheated 350 F for 25 minutes.
