I started searching for a bread recipe with cream cheese as I've a few boxes of cream cheese in my fridge. I was glad I found this coz it's really very good! Super soft! Personally I like it more than the Hokkaido Milk Loaf (which used to be my favourite).

The original recipe is for a breadmaker. I don't have one, so I use my VM to knead the dough and do it like a normal bread.

Cream Cheese Bread

Ingredients
160g water
250g bread flour
50g cream cheese
10g powder milk
15g sugar
3g salt
20g butter
3g dry yeast (original recipe calls for 2.5g)

For Breadmaker
1. Put the ingredients in the bread machine on regular or fast loaf cycle.
2. Slice and enjoy.

For non Breadmaker
1. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl until well blended.
2. Add in the wet ingredients to form a dough.
3. Knead dough until dough is elastic and smooth.
4. Place it in a large greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or cling-wrap and leave it to proof in a warm place till double in size (about 1 hr).
5. When proofing is completed, punch down the bread dough to release the air.
6. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle with the shorter end to be the same length as the length of the loaf pan. Starting with the shorter end, roll up the dough swiss roll style and place it into the loaf pan to proof until double its size again (about 30-45 minutes).
7. Bake in preheated oven at 170C for 30 minutes.
8. Remove bread from loaf pan to cool completely.

kwf, I just made this bread and turned out very nice and fluffly too... Thanks for the recipe. I melted the butter first before adding. I used the bread machine to knead the dough and later took it out to bake in the oven.

aunty, your bread is very nicely browned. Did you use the breadmaker or the manual method?

Hey KWF, I'm making the bread now (in bread maker), hopefully it turns out well! Hee

As for the cream cheese, it seems to disappear since months ago. I used cream cheese spread because I can't find any cream cheese. I know spread is not suitable for baking but I don't want to end up buying phoon huat's 2kg block. sad

bakingjourney, that's interesting! I never thought of using cream cheese spread. You'll probably need to reduce the amount of salt coz cream cheese spread has more taste. Let me know the outcome, ok? When I run out of cream cheese, I may want to try that too.

Hey KWF, pardon my bad pictures. Very Happy

The bread is a little on the salty side (which I like), probably due to the fact that I used spreadable cream cheese. Soft and fluffy like what you said, definitely tasty! I had one slice even tho I'm extremely full, couldn't resist the fluffy bread. =X

P/S: I can't seem to upload the picture tho.

glad you like the bread. I also love it for its saltish taste. Smile

Thanks KWF! My pictures can't be compared with yours and aunty yochana. Nevertheless, never judge a book by its cover, the bread is indeed YUMMY! Thanks for sharing and recommending the recipe! Very Happy
