Orange-vanilla cream cheese challah

Moist, sweet dough filled with vanilla cream cheese and orange marmalade. This turned out surprisingly tasty.

Ingredients
500g flour
2 tsp yeast
2 tbsp sour cream
60g butter
3 tbsp sugar
300mL milk
2 eggs
1 package vanilla sugar

filling:
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 package vanilla sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup orange marmalade

coating:
1 egg
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp sugar

Preparation
Allow all the dough ingredients to come to room temperature. Bloom the yeast with a portion of the milk and sugar. Add the remaining warm milk, the sifted flour, cut in the butter and add the sour cream. Knead in the bowl until smooth.

Pour out onto a floured surface and continue kneading for 5 minutes. Lightly coat with oil and place in a covered bowl to rise.

Meanwhile whip up the cream cheese filling (everything but the marmalade).

When the dough has doubled in size, roll out into a rectangle, until the dough is 0.25 inch-thick.

Spread the cheese filling on the rectangle, leaving 1 inch around the long edges and 0.5 inch along the short ones.

Spread the part that will be in the middle of the bread with orange marmalade. (This will be along one of the long edges, pick one!)

Roll up beginning with the marmaladey edge. As you roll, pinch the ends closed.

Place into a 10-inch round baking pan sprayed with oil. Start from the middle and fold the rest around in a spiral. Spread with oil, cover and allow to rise for 1 hour more. At this point when you poke your finger in it, the dough should not spring back. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake in a 350F preheated oven for 45-50 minutes.
