What looks like an intricately braided coffee bread is actually a
"mock" braid, easily fashioned by even beginning bakers. Filled with
sweetened cream cheese and jam, it's both delicious, and elegant.
Note: *Looking for that distinctive "bakery" flavor? Substitute 1
teaspoon Buttery Sweet Dough Flavor (widely available online) for the vanilla.
PREP: 30 mins
BAKE: 32 to 36 mins
TOTAL: 4:02
YIELD: Two braids, about 2 dozen servings
Combine all of the dough ingredients in a mixing bowl, and mix and
knead (by hand, mixer, or bread machine) to make a smooth dough. the
dough will seem very dry at first; resist the urge to add more
liquid. It'll come together and smooth out as you knead.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl or other container, cover
it, and allow it to rise for 90 minutes. It won't look risen at all. That's OK.
Divide the risen dough into two pieces. Working with one piece at a
time, flatten/pat/roll it into a 10" x 15" rectangle.
Make the filling: Gently beat together the cream cheese, butter,
sugar, salt, flavor or extract, and ClearJel or flour until smooth.
Add the egg, and again gently beat until only a few small lumps are visible.
Spread half the jam/flour (or jam/ClearJel) mixture (about 5 1/2
ounces) in a 2 1/2"-wide swath down the center of the rectangle,
lengthwise. Leave 1" of dough bare at each end.
Spread half the cream cheese mixture (about 6 1/4 ounces) atop the jam.
Fold the end over the filling at each end of the dough.
Make cuts from the edge of the dough to within about 1/2" of the
filling, every 3/4", all the way down both sides of the dough.
Starting at one end, pull the cut strips up and over the filling,
alternating sides. Transfer the loaf to a lightly greased or
parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining piece of dough.
Cover the loaves, and let them rise for 90 minutes. Again, it won't
appear to rise; that's OK. Towards the end of the rising time,
preheat your oven to 350F.
To finish and bake: Brush the egg white/water over the loaves.
Sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
Bake the coffeecakes for 32 to 36 minutes, until they're golden
brown. Remove them from the oven, and place them on a rack to cool
slightly. Serve warm.
Store any leftovers, well-wrapped, in the freezer. to serve, thaw,
and then reheat in a 350F oven, tented with foil, for about 10 minutes.
Tips: Instant ClearJel thickens without cloudiness, and without any
"floury" texture; it also thickens better than flour. It's our
thickener of choice, but certainly use flour if you don't have ClearJel.
This coffeecake is also tasty drizzled with a simple confectioners'
sugar icing (confectioners' sugar mixed with enough milk or cream to
make it barely pourable).
Perfect Pastry Blend, with its medium-level protein (10.4%), makes a
lovely, tender coffee bread. If you use all-purpose flour, the bread
will be a touch less tender; and you'll need to add an additional
tablespoon or two of water to the dough.
