📝 Instructions & Methods
Step 1: Prepare the Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter (or your fingers) to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with honey and cinnamon until smooth.
- Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle the chopped berries over the cream cheese layer.
Step 3: Assemble the Morning Bake
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from one long edge.
- Slice into 1-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Brush each round with beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
- Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate, honey, or a light glaze for extra indulgence.
