Raspberry Cheesecake Swedish Tea Ring

Ingredients

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Directions

  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 egg yolk and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine milk, sour cream, granulated sugar, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, unsalted butter, flour, yeast, cardamom, and sea salt. Knead until smooth and still a soft dough.
  3. Place dough in large bowl, cover and allow to rise to double its size. (About an hour.)
  4. Once dough has risen, on a lightly floured surface, roll into a 12 inch by 18 inch rectangle. Spread cream cheese mixture over all but the top 1/2 inch of the long side of the dough and both of the short sides.
  5. Cover the cream cheese mixture with the raspberries and roll into an 18-inch roll.
  6. Place onto a large, well-greased or parchment covered  cookie sheet and curve into a ring. Pinch ends together to seal ring.
  7. With sharp scissors, every 2-inches cut 2/3 of the way into the outside of the ring.  Allow to rise another 30 minutes or so.
  8. Whisk together 1/2 cup sugar with cinnamon. Set aside.
  9. While it is rising, preheat oven to 350°F.
  10. Just before baking sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool on wire rack before serving. Store in the refrigerator.
