Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed to about 110°F
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
- Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and yeast mixture. Combine until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, raspberry preserves, and rose water until smooth.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long side and pinch the seam to seal.
- Slice into 12 equal pieces and arrange in a greased baking dish, leaving space for rising.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving, garnishing with fresh raspberries and edible rose petals if desired.
