If you have a sweet tooth and also love bread and a pastry or a danish is your idea of a delicious breakfast, this sweet bread recipe is probably made for you.

The dough to this sweet bread is very simple to make, the bread is stuffed with jam and cream cheese and oh so soft on the inside and with a few creative cuts and twists, you will make it look simply beautiful.

The dough is made with yeast, so it will need some time to rise. If you want this bread fresh out the oven in time for breakfast, it may be a good idea to make the dough on the night before and keep it overnight.

This recipe calls for raspberry jam, but the fact is, you can basically use any of your favorite jam in this bread, just make sure it’s not too runny, or it will leak out during baking and the sugars in it will burn very easily.

Serve this bread while it’s still hot, but it also keeps well, up to 2-3 days. It’s best to keep it wrapped in plastic food wrapper in the fridge because cream cheese might spoil easily at room temperature. And then you can simply reheat the leftovers in microwave. I hope you enjoy this lovely recipe as much as I do!
