Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2¼ tsp. active dry yeast
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp. melted unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups bread flour

For the Blueberry Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

For the Egg Wash:

  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 tbsp. water

Instructions
 

  • Begin by making the bread dough: In a small saucepan, heat the milk to 105 degrees. Remove from the heat and stir in the yeast. Let sit for five minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, butter, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until they're well mixed.
  • Stir in the yeast, and stir until combined. Slowly add the bread flour, stirring until all the flour is incorporated.
  • Dump the dough on to a floured board, and knead for eight minutes, adding more flour as necessary. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for one hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Roll the dough out into a 18x12 rectangle. Mix together all the filling ingredients and spread it all over the dough. Roll the long side of the dough up into a rope. Cut the rope in half, and seal the four ends, by pinching the dough together. Twist the two strands together, to form a twisted rope. Place the dough strand on a parchment lined baking sheet. Stir together the egg wash ingredients and brush it all over the bread. Bake the bread for 25 minutes, and then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
