Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites

These were not as easy to make as I thought they would be but they were definitely delicious! I got the idea from this raspberry cream cheese braid recipe and these pizza bites.

Just use a bread recipe or you can use the bread from the raspberry cream cheese braid for the dough, I used my roll recipe.

Dough

3/4 cup water, warm

1/2 TBS yeast

1 TBS sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups flour

Filling

the measurements are a little weird because I halved the recipe for it because it makes a lot!

1/2 package cream cheese (4 oz)

1/2 egg

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/16 tsp salt

1/4 cup raspberry jam

Glaze

1/2 + 1/8 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 TBS milk

Make the dough. Mix the warm water, yeast and sugar, then add the salt and flour. Let it rest while you make the filling. Soften the cream cheese and mix it with the sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt. Break your dough into small pieces, about 1/3 of the size you would make for a roll. Flatten each piece, not too thin or the filling will ooze out. Put a little bit of the cream cheese filling and a little bit of raspberry jam into each piece of dough and fold it around the filling and seal it. Put it into a 9 inch round cake pan seam side down, each pan should fit about 24 pieces. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Mix the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk and drizzle the glaze over the raspberry cream cheese bites! They were very yummy! Just a different way of serving the delicious raspberry cream cheese combo! YUM!!
