Sick of buying or having regular, bland-tasting bread loaves? Try baking honey cream cheese bread for a change! The combination of honey and cream cheese makes a whole lot of difference to our dough, giving it a mildly tangy and sweet flavor. You’re sure to bake another batch soon after.
A classic combination, you already know these ingredients are a perfect pair to work with. Our recipe whips up butter along with the cream cheese and sugar to make an extra fluffy mixture. This simple and yummy combo yields a divine honey cheese bread.
You can choose to add more cream cheese or spread some strawberry jam onto your toast. Cream cheese also works well with banana bread, garlic bread, or french toast so make sure to try those delicious combos.
