Cheesecake Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Put all the ingredients from the bread flour down to the yeast in a bread machine, and start the dough-only program, up to the 1st rising.
2. 2
   A little before the dough is done, mix all the ingredients together to make the cheese filling.
3. 3
   Chill it in the refrigerator.
4. 4
   When the dough is done, take it out on a floured work surface and punch down to deflate.
5. 5
   Divide into 12 pieces and round off each one.
6. 6
   Leave to rest for 15 minutes, covered with a moistened kitchen towel.
7. 7
   Form the buns.
8. 8
   Roll out each ball of dough with a rolling pin (make the center a bit thicker than the edges).
9. 9
   Add the cheese cream filling, and seal the dough around it.
10. 10
    Line up the buns on a baking sheet lined with kitchen parchment paper, seam sides down.
11. 11
    Leave to rise to about 1.5 to 2 times their original bulk (2nd rising).
12. 12
    For me, it took 30 minutes at 40C.
13. 13
    Brush the tops with egg wash, and bake in a preheated 200C oven for about 12 minutes.
