Strawberry Cream Cheese Braided Loaf

<p>Delicious combination of fresh strawberries, cream cheese with a white based yeasted bread as the base. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I suggest the Grandma’s white recipe for the dough that is below and discussed with more detail in episode five. After the first rising process divide the dough in 1/3s. Flatten out each part in half, about the size of a piece of paper.</p> <p>Spread ¼ cup of cream cheese down the middle spread the dough about 2 ½ inches wide. Top the cream cheese with ¼ cup of freshly sliced strawberries. Make parallel cuts about 2 inches long at a 45 degree angle down each side of the dough, ¾ to an inch apart.</p> <p>Take one strip at a time from alternating sides and bring them across the center to the other side. Tuck in the ends and add a few strawberries on top for looks.</p> <p>1 1/2 cups of warm water (approximately 100 degrees)</p> <p>2 packages or one and 3/4 tablespoons of active dry yeast</p> <p>4 cups of unbleached flour (approximately a pound)</p> <p>1/4 cup of honey</p> <p>1T of salt.</p> <p>Happy Baking! &nbsp;</p> <p>For more information about House of Bread, please visit <a href="http://www.houseofbread.com/">www.houseofbread.com</a>.
