Cream Cheese Braids image

This is a delectable danish style bread, very light and tender. The recipe seems more complicated than it really is, and makes four loaves, so there's plenty to share. Prep time does not include overnight or second rising time. One of Southern Living's best recipes.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never seem to get it right. I'm starting to think that I'm just not meant to make cream cheese braids.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cream cheese braids turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These cream cheese braids were a total disaster. The dough was too sticky and the braids fell apart in the oven.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cream cheese braids didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cream cheese braids are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the cream cheese filling at first, but it ended up being the perfect complement to the sweet dough.
