Fruity Chocolate Dessert Bread with Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf frozen bread dough
- 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
- ½ cup Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions:
- Lightly spray or brush plastic wrap with cooking oil and loosely cover the frozen bread dough. Let it thaw at room temperature for a few hours until it becomes slightly puffy and completely soft.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to roughly an 11 x 11-inch square.
- In a bowl, combine whipped cream cheese with Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar until smooth and evenly mixed. Spread this mixture over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Sprinkle the cream cheese layer with dark chocolate chips for a rich, chocolatey bite in every slice.
- Roll up the dough starting from one side, jelly-roll style. Place seam-side down on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
- Brush the top of the roll with melted butter to encourage a golden crust.
- Bake at 375˚F for 15–25 minutes or until golden brown. Tap the crust with your fingernail—it should sound hollow, like fresh-baked bread.
- Let the roll cool completely before slicing for best texture and presentation.
