In a large bowl place warm water, sugar, oil, salt and yeast. Gently stir and set aside for 10-12 minutes to allow yeast to proof.
In a large stand mixer with dough hooks add 2 cups flour and pour yeast mixture into flour.
Mix to combine about 2-3 minutes
Add 2 more cups flour and allow to mix. About 2-3 minutes
Add eggs one at a time
Add 1 more cup of flower and allow to knead for 4-6 minutes
Remove from mixer and allow to raise for 20 minutes (or until double in size) in a warm spot. *see Instant Pot Hack below in notes
On a floured surface roll out dough into a rectangle.
Move dough to a sprayed cookie sheet
Down the center of the dough spread softened cream cheese, about 3 inches wide.
Down the center on-top of the cream cheese spread pie filling
With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut 10-12 slits on each side
Pull one cut piece to the center, overlap with a 2nd piece from the opposite side and continue until you reach the bottom.
Sprinkle with sugar
Bake at 350 for 14-17 minutes or until golden brown
Glaze:
In a bowl add powdered sugar and cut in butter. I like to use frozen butter and use a cheese grater to cut in butter and use a fork to combine. Then add vanilla and milk and with a hand mixer, mix until smooth. Drizzle over top of warm Sweet Bread
Notes
Instant Pot Hack: Place dough inside of Sprayed Instant Pot and set to "Yogurt" setting for 15 minutes. The low heat will speed up the raising process of the dough. Your dough should double in size and save you time!Glaze: 2 Cups Powdered Sugar, ¼ Cup Cold Butter, 1 teaspoon Vanilla, 3-4 Tbs Milk. Cut cold butter into Powdered Sugar and add Vanilla and Milk. Use a hand mixer to combine and drizzle over warm Sweet Bread.
