Delicious combination of fresh strawberries, cream cheese with a white based yeasted bread as the base.

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.

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.

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.

1 1/2 cups of warm water (approximately 100 degrees)

2 packages or one and 3/4 tablespoons of active dry yeast

4 cups of unbleached flour (approximately a pound)

1/4 cup of honey

1T of salt.

Happy Baking!
