Cream-Cheese Sourdough Muffin

These delightful little muffins are a wonderful addition to brunch! The reality is we will eat these any time of the day! I only make them occasionally because I really can’t resist them! Once again, the art of bread baking makes the presentation of these gems pure delight. The pull apart bread is layered with cream cheese filling- not too sweet and the perfect amount of filling in each bite. If you wanted to, you could make 1/2 the batch of Sourdough in this variety and 1/2 in the Raspberry Cream Cheese Roll or Apple Cinnamon Sourdough Bread recipe. Here are the links to those: https://sanctuary-ridge.com/2020/05/21/sanctuary-ridge-family-recipes-sweet-raspberry-cream-cheese-bread/(opens in a new tab) or https://sanctuary-ridge.com/2020/05/28/sanctuary-ridge-family-recipes-apple-cinnamon-sourdough-bread/(opens in a new tab)

Cream-Cheese Sourdough Muffins

Ingredients:

Directions: Prepare the baking sheet with pan spray. You can also make this in muffin tins- just spray them with pan spray! Prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing the cream cheese, egg and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Take 1/2 of the bread dough and roll out to a rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick. Spread a 1/4 inch thick layer of cream cheese filling over the entire rectangle of dough. It will look like this:

Now, take 1/2 inch of each end of the dough and fold them toward the center. Take the length of the dough and roll it as you would for cinnamon rolls. Pinch the end of the dough together to seal the roll. It will look like this:

Slice the dough vertically into 2 inch slices, like cinnamon rolls. Slice again at a 45 degree angle and then one more time at an opposite 45 degree angle. Place the dough into a prepared bread pan or muffin tins, careful to only fill 2/3 full. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough. Cover and allow to rise for 6-8 hours. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Glaze with a simple icing glaze- I use 1 TBSP butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 cup orange juice and 2 cups powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and drizzle over sweet breads while they are still hot for a shiny glaze.

Ya’ll! Apple Cinnamon Bread is both beautiful and simply delicious! I like to think there is an art to making bread and creating variations with dough is one of my favorite forms of artwork. The cross cuts in the dough create a wonderful pull apart bread and insures the explosion of flavors are in every bite. I will share the basic process. All of the varieties I share use the basic Sourdough Bread recipe included below. You can read more details about that process here: https://sanctuary-ridge.com/2020/05/17/sanctuary-ridge-family-recipes-sourdough-bread/(opens in a new tab).

The Process…

Here is the process in pictures. If you want to make simple cinnamon rolls, you can eliminate the cross cutting step. Once you try this technique, I don’t think you will do it any other way! The results are both visually stunning and scrumptious!

The basic ingredients
Step 1: Brown Sugar on rolled dough
Step 2: Cinnamon on brown sugar
Step 3: Grated Apple on Cinnamon
Step 4: Roll and slice dough

Instructions
 

Step One

  • 1. (morning or evening) In a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid Mixer, combine the first five ingredients and stir. Next, add 2 cups of flour at a time, mixing between each addition of flour until a dough is formed. See the video below for dough consistency. It will be a little sticky but not so much that you can't work it by hand. If you need to then add a little more flour. Spread 1 TBSP of vegetable oil over the dough, cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for approximately 10-12 hours on the kitchen countertop.

Step Two

  • 2. (evening or morning) Now it is time to knead the dough to pop all the air bubbles. Make sure you dust the surface with flour so it doesn't stick! Spray two bread pans with non-stick spray. Separate the dough into two equal portions. Form the dough into a loaf and place into the bread pans. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 8-12 hours on the kitchen countertop. In winter it takes longer to rise.

Step Three

  • 3. (morning or evening) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the bread at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

As if Sourdough Bread is not tempting enough, when you try raspberry cream cheese rolls, blueberry danish, apple cinnamon bread, or cinnamon rolls, you can kiss your will power good-bye! I like to think there is an art to making bread and creating variations with dough is one of my favorite forms of artwork. I will share the basic process and then in separate recipes I will share what is needed for each variety. All of these use the basic Sourdough Bread recipe found here: https://sanctuary-ridge.com/2020/05/17/sanctuary-ridge-family-recipes-sourdough-bread/(opens in a new tab).

Spread a 1/4 inch thick layer of cream cheese filling over the entire rectangle of dough. Next, spread a thin layer of Raspberry jam. It will look like this:

Now, take 1/2 inch of each end of the dough and fold them toward the center. Take the length of the dough and roll it as you would for cinnamon rolls. Pinch the end of the dough together to seal the roll. It will look like this:

Now slice the dough into 2 inch slices, like cinnamon rolls. Place each slice on a prepared cookie sheet. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough. Cover and allow to rise for 6-8 hours.
