Instructions
Dough:
- Combine flour, sugar, yeast, salt and nutmeg in large mixer bowl.
- Heat milk until very warm (120? to 130?F). With electric mixer on low speed, add milk, eggs and egg yolk to flour mixture. Mix until combined.
- With mixer on low speed, add butter, a few tablespoons at a time. Add more flour if necessary. Dough should be soft, not sticky.
- Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 3 to 5 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease all sides. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Punch dough down. Knead about 5 times. Place dough in bowl; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.
- Line two 4 X 8-inch loaf pans with parchment paper, allowing about two inches of overhang on each side. (It is all right if the paper is crinkled at the ends.)
- Remove dough from refrigerator; let rest 20 minutes. Combine all Lemon Filling ingredients in small bowl. Roll dough to a 13 X 18-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Evenly spread Lemon Filling over dough.
- Cut dough lengthwise into 5 equal strips. Stack strips on top of each other. Cut stack crosswise into 6 equal strips. Place 3 strips in each pan.
- Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake at 350?F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Cover with foil if bread becomes too brown.
- Using paper for handles, remove bread from pans. Let cool about 20 minutes on wire rack.
- Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Glaze should be slightly runny. Drizzle with Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze.
