Cream Cheese Brioche

• 1 3/8 cups all purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 4 7/8 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 3 3/8 tablespoons milk warm, + 3 or 4 extra tbsp for brushing
• 5 teaspoons sugar gr, 1
• 7 teaspoons instant yeast gr, 1 and 1/2
• 3 drops vanilla extract

1. Dissolve the yeast in some of the milk, together with one teaspoon of sugar. In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients with the dissolved yeast and the remaining milk until the dough is homogeneus. Don't get scared if the dough seems to be a bit too fluffly as long as it stays compact.
2. Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (at least 2 hours).
3. Roll out the dough onto a floured surface into a 10-12inch square then roll. Using a string cut into 1/2inch thick piece. Place them onto the baking sheet covered with baking paper, cover and let rise until doubled volume.
4. Brush the risen dough with a mixture made of 3-4 tbsp of milk and just a few drops of vanilla extract.
5. Bake for 20 minutes maximum or until lightly golden brown. (make sure not to overbake them as I almost did!)
6. Let cool on a rack. Serve them plain or with some butter or jam.
