It feels as though it has been a long winter. Do you agree? On dreary days I often long for sunshine, so on this particular day I decided to make my own.

I dove head first into pull-apart bread and had a complete failure. I was however, determined to make my own “sunshine” that day. So I shot Amber a message and asked for her guidance. I guess you can say this recipe is a collaboration of sorts. I certainly cannot take all the credit here.

This bread is sweet, tangy, sticky, and baked in a bundt pan. I took balls of dough and stuffed them with the blueberry preserves. The bread gets baked together with melted butter and wonderful lemon zested sugar. There’s our sunshine and it tastes divine.

To brighten this bread even more, I drizzled the top with lemon cream cheese glaze. I saw no reason not to. So I went for it. It was the best decision. Thanks to Amber and her wonderful advice, this pull-apart bread came into fruition.

Trust me when I say you must try it! It is out of this world delicious!

YieldsYields12 servings

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast, (1 packet)
• ▢ ¼ cup (59 ml) warm water, (about 105 – 110 degrees Fahrenheit)
• ▢ 3 to 3 ½ cups (360-420 g) all-purpose flour, (stir, spoon & level)
• ▢ 1 tsp salt
• ▢ ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar, divided
• ▢ 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• ▢ ¾ cup (177 g) warm buttermilk
• ▢ 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ▢ 3 Tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter, melted
• ▢ 1 cup (304 g) blueberry preserves

For the coating:

• ▢ ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, melted
• ▢ 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
• ▢ 3 Tbsp finely shredded lemon peel

For the glaze:

• ▢ 4 ounces (113 g) cream cheese, softened
• ▢ 3 Tbsp lemon juice
• ▢ 1 ½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar

Instructions

 

• In a small cup, combine the yeast, warm water, and 1 Tbsp of the sugar. Stir to dissolve; let sit for 5 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, salt, remaining sugar, egg, buttermilk, vanilla, and butter. Mix until well blended and smooth. Gradually add in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Dough is ready when it springs back when poked with a finger. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
• Meanwhile, melt the butter for the coating in a small bowl. In a separate bowl combine the sugar and lemon peel. Set aside.
• Spray a 10 cup bundt pan with cooking spray. Set aside. Punch the dough down gently. Divide the dough in half. Then divide each half into 16 balls. You should have 32 dough balls. Cover the dough balls with a damp towel as you work to prevent them from drying out. Pat each dough ball into a 2 ½-inch circle. Place 1 tsp of blueberry preserves into the center of the dough. Pinch the edges together to form a seal, making the shape of a ball. Dip the ball into the melted butter then generously roll it into the sugar coating. Arrange the dough ball seam side down in the prepared bundt pan. Repeat until all of the dough has been filled and rolled. Add any remaining coating or butter to the top of the dough balls, making sure to cover the exposed surface. Cover and let rise once more for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Invert the bread onto a serving plate.
• Make the glaze: Beat together the cream cheese and lemon juice. Gradually whisk in enough powdered sugar to form an icing drizzle. Drizzle the glaze over the bread while the bread is still warm.
