Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm whole milk (110°F)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Gradually add melted butter, eggs, salt, and flour to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled (about 1 hour).
- For the filling, mix mascarpone cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle (½ inch thick) and spread the mascarpone filling evenly over it.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log shape; slice it in half lengthwise to reveal the layers. Twist both halves together and place in a greased loaf pan; let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown.
