Directions

  1. 1Mix all ingredients (flour, warm milk or water, oil, sugar, instant yeast, salt) together in a bowl.
  2. 2Put the dough on your stand mixer and let it mix for five to eight minutes, even if it's slightly sticky.
  3. 3Remove the dough from the dough hook, dusting with a little bit of flour, and place it on a lightly floured countertop.
  4. 4Lightly oil the same bowl used for mixing.
  5. 5Coat the dough with a little bit of that oil, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise for about an hour and a half until it's doubled in size.
  6. 6Cut the dough in half, placing one half back in the bowl to use later.
  7. 7Roll one half of the dough on the lightly floured countertop into a rough rectangle.
  8. 8Spread 4 ounces of softened cream cheese all the way across the entire surface of the dough, from edge to edge.
  9. 9Sprinkle with milk chocolate chips (or any preferred type and quantity).
  10. 10Starting from the short side, roll the dough all the way to the other end.
  11. 11Cut the rolled dough all the way down the middle, lengthwise, except for one end, leaving that part intact.
  12. 12Twist the bread over itself, pinching the ends together.
  13. 13Place the twisted dough in a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan lined with Parchment paper.
  14. 14Cover the pan with the same damp towel and let it rise for about 45 minutes until puffed up.
  15. 15Brush the risen bread with an egg yolk that has been scrambled up.
  16. 16Bake at 375° for about 35 minutes.

Tips

  • If using active dry yeast, mix it with warm milk first.
  • If you can't have milk, use warm water instead.
  • The dough is ready when it can be stretched between hands without tearing.
  • Bake until the internal temperature of the bread reads about 190°.
