I love baking with the kids and this Strawberry Cream Cheese Pull Apart Bread is such a fun recipe to make with them. Making the dough pockets takes a little finesse, and is easier for adults, but kids can easily help spoon the jam into the rolls. And once the loaf is risen and baked, kids can help drizzle on the yummy icing, too. My kids favorite part though? Slicing the bread and finding out what cool pattern is inside. Where did all those little pockets end up? And who will get a piece with the most filing? It's pure breakfast fun!
If I was having to make this dough from scratch, it would take forever. Not only would the kids get bored, but so would I! With this Strawberry Cream Cheese Loaf Pull Apart Bread, I start with Rhodes Dinner Rolls frozen dough. It's as simple as thawing, filling and baking! There's no kneading, no flour all over the floor, and very little clean up. That's my kind of recipe! I love semi-homemade recipes because they leave me with time to do other things with my kiddos.
You can use store-bought jam, and swap out the flavor for a variety of delicious flavors. To me strawberry and cream cheese just pair so well together, but raspberry preserves or blueberry jam would be delicious, also. If you're looking for a great homemade strawberry jam recipe, check out my Strawberry Lime Jam this berry season. It's so delicious!
