- 2 2/3c flour
-
1 Tbs dry yeast
- 2 Tbs sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 3/3 Tbs butter
- 1 egg
- warm water (enough to equal 1c with the egg)

- 2 1/8c cake flour
- 1tsp baking powder
- 6 2/3Tbs butter
- 1/4c sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 Tbs skim milk
- ˝ lemon peel

- 150g cream cheese
- 2tbs sugar
- 2tsp lemon juice

* make sure butter is room temperature
* make sure the filling is really well blended

Bread Directions:
1. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, the sugar with the yeast, and the butter and salt.
2. Add all the water/egg mixture to the yeast at once and dissolve the yeast with your fingers.
3. Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix well. Be you neurotic, clean out the bowl…
4. Kneed the dough in the bowl by throwing it in and snapping in two. It's gonna be pretty soft, so this should be easy.
5. Stop when the dough is smooth and kinda shiney.
6. Wrap the bread in the bowl and let it in a warm place to rise for 40~60 min.

Topping directions:
1. Mix the butter and sugar well, and add in the egg yols and lemon peel. Stir well.
2. Add this to the flour, stirring continually. When it's even add the milk as well.
3. Chill in the refrigerator for easier use later.
4. Just mix the filling really well.

Closing directions:
1. Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 12 pieces. Shape them into spheres. This time, include any flour from outside the bowl and pull it and round it off. Add the filling if you want and pinch closed.
2. Cover with saran wrap or terra cloth so it does not get dry. Let rise again for ~20min.
3. Divide the topping into 12 parts and roll that out between plastic wrap.
4. Cover the bread with the topping and arrange them, then sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar. Cut shallow lines across the top with a kitchen knife.
5. Cover them again so they do not dry out and let them rise another 20 minutes. 6. Bake at 180 C for 20 minutes.
