Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a small saucepan, heat sour cream and butter to 110°-115°.
Add sugar and eggs; mix well. Gradually add flour; mix well. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
For filling, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg and extract until smooth; set aside. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide into four portions.
Roll each into a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle.
Spread a fourth of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each rectangle. Spoon a fourth of the pie filling over cream cheese. Fold lengthwise into thirds; pinch side seam and ends to seal.
Place seam side down on greased baking sheets.
With a sharp scissors, make several 1-in. diagonal cuts near the center of loaves. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over warm loaves. Cool on wire racks. Refrigerate leftovers.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose
Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Antipasti. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Masia de la Luz Cava Brut with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
