6 hrsThis is what happens when a cheesecake and a bread ring walk into the same kitchen and decide to become one.
Yeasted dough made with sour cream and butter gets rolled out, fitted into a ring mold, then filled with a vanilla cream cheese custard. The dough folds over the top, rises until puffy, and bakes into a golden ring with a creamy surprise inside.
Dust it with confectioner’s sugar and watch people lose their minds at brunch.
Fair warning: the total time runs about 6 hours with chilling and rising, so this is a labor of love.
Pro Tips
- Don’t skip the 2-3 hour chill for the dough. Cold dough is much easier to roll and shape.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so the filling stays silky smooth
- Seal the dough edges well or the filling will leak out during baking
- Let the ring cool in the pan for a full 10 minutes before turning out, or it may break apart
