Julie’s Tips

 
  • Be sure to grease your loaf pan before adding the dough.
  • The bread will take about 45 minutes to bake, start checking it about 5 minutes before time as some ovens can run hotter.
  • Check when the bread is done by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, with the exception of a little cream cheese, then it’s ready.
  • The batter should not exceed 1″ from the top of the loaf pan to compensate for rise.
  • To get 1/2 egg for filling, whisk an egg in a small bowl and divide.

  1. Julie, this looks so delicious! I will be making this bread this weekend for my 4 grandsons. Quick question – recipe reads “1/2 cup egg”. Can you clarify for me?
