Vanilla chocolate chip cream-stuffed breakfast braid

Nearly 40 posts ago, I wrote about a pumpkin cheesecake-stuffed breakfast braid and became utterly smitten (sort of) with the concept of thing-stuffed breads like that one. It’s a very flexible breakfast item—you’ve got your basic dough recipe, which is already doughy and soft and perfect for “braiding” (as is done in this recipe), and then you can add gooey deliciousness to the center, from fruits to custards to, as you can see, chocolate chips. Honestly, I don’t know why I didn’t get back into the kitchen and make another variation right after eating that pumpkin one.
