When served with jam, this dense yeast bread tastes great when it is toasted. Simply add 1/4 cup of nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips after the first rise to use it as a base for fruit bread or chocolate chip bread.

Where has this been! Didn’t revise any way. Delicious….. It’s a family keeper.
I had extra packages of cream cheese so I searched for a recipe . I used the dough setting on the bread machine. I shaped into 14 rolls, let them rise, and baked. Perfect complement for our chicken vegetable soup. Will keep recipe to make bread with dried fruit or cinnamon roll recipe.
This is a great recipe for a sweeter dinner roll. I used a little more milk than it called for, mixed by hand and rolled into balls, to make a three part roll. Then I let the dough rise for 2 hours in muffin tins. Baked it at 350° until golden, about 20 minutes. Delicious fresh, but reheat great for 15 seconds in the microwave.
Delicious and very easy to make. The bread is soooo soft. Will definitely be making again.
yummy, and kids and my hubby ate them up very quickly 😀
Used “cream cheese with garden vegetables.” Delicious!
This bread was wonderful! It was almost creamy in texture!
needs a lot more sugar, wasn’t sweet at all. omit the salt, it made it taste horrible. this is a good base recipe, but you need to make it your own. don’t try this recipe without adding more stuff to it. the end result needs to taste like a cream cheese muffin.
My family and I loved it!
This bread is perfect for making french toast sticks!
Delicious sub rolls–texture is very flaky and flavor is “buttery”. I made the dough with my breadmaker, shaped, let rise for an hour, then baked @350 for 20 minutes. I had made this before as a regular loaf in my breadmaker, but it didn’t fully cook in the loaf’s center–I will need to try less liquid or use the dark cook setting. But the flavor is really nice. Thanks Marbalet!
awsome.
I had 3 8 oz packages of cream cheese that was going to be used for my white chocolate raspberry cheese cake, but didn’t have time to make it. I didn’t want them to go to waste (I mean, there’s only so many bagels w/ cream cheese mornings I can have =P) so I was so happy when I stumbled upon this recipe! Some minor changes due to what was on hand: I used soy milk, butter instead of margarine, and less salt. Came out sO wonderful! Fluffy, Soft, Chewy! Great with some blackberry jam for breakfast.
Excellent recipe. I warmed the milk then added the sugar and yeast and let that sit while I melted the butter (instead of margarine) and warmed the cream cheese and let the egg warm on the stove. Then I dumped the butter, cream cheese and egg on the yeast/milk mixture, added flour, then salt and let the bread machine work: White, 2 lbs, pounded down the bread a little after the 2nd rising. It smelled great when baking and rose very nice and fluffy. It’s a cheese bread, so it’s heavy but yummy. I think me and my bread machine are now best buds.
This was good but not great. I didn’t like the crust and the bread is REALLY dense.
Awesome bread. It rose perfectly, had a nice texture and was moist. It has a nice light sour dough-like flavor. Everyone in the family loved it. I heated the cream cheese for 30 seconds and the margarine for 10 seconds in the microwave to take off the chill.
It was great, but the name does not accurately depict it. I’m sure that the cream cheese is what gave it its wonderful taste and texture, but since you don’t taste any cream cheese, I believe it should be renamed.. like ‘Melt-in-your-mouth bread’ or something.
Great with berry jam (no butter needed)! I love this rich bread, but reserve making it for an occasional splurge.
Wonderful! I used this to make cinnamon/pecan rolls. I let the dough rise a little longer in the bread machine (it needed another 40 minutes) then I formed the dough & covered it with butter, pecan pieces and sugar & cinnamon. Rolled up and cut and put in buttered pan (large deep dish pizza pan) and let rise another 40 minutes & topped with a little more butter, pecans and sugar & cinnamon. Baked at 350 for about 30 minutes. Made an icing of 2 cups powdered sugar, splash of pure vanilla, about 3 TBSP. of melted butter and a 3-4 TBSP. of milk. My house smells heavenly! Thanks for sharing your recipe (this is a keeper) !!
This bread has just a subtle taste and feel of cream cheese. A Person wouln’t know it was in there if they hadn’t read the recipe. It made wonderful toast, and I couldn’t stop tearing off an untoasted piece for a snack until it was gone. Add gluten for chewy texture.
This bread was sooo easy to make in the machine and, bonus, the flavor and texture were awesome. Topped with fruit…mmmmm.
