Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon(s) active dry yeast
1/3 cup(s) warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/2 cup(s) sour cream (110-115 degrees)
1 - egg
1/4 cup(s) butter, melted
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) salt
2 1/4-2 1/ cup(s) flour
FILLING
1 package(s) 8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 - egg
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) raspberry jam
GLAZE
1 1/4 cup(s) confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
2 tablespoon(s) milk

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in sour cream, egg, butter, sugar and salt. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead 20 times or until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1 1/4 hours.
  • In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth, set aside. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12in X 8in rectangle. Spread filling to within 1/2 inch of edges. Spoon jam lengthwise over half of filling. Roll up jelly roll style, starting with the long side with the jam. Pinch seams to seal; make sure your seams are sealed well or filling will leak out. Tuck ends under.
  • Place loaves seam side down on a greased baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut shallow slashes across the top of each. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm bread.
