  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, brown sugar, and yeast; stir well. Let sit until the yeast softens and develops a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Grease a separate large bowl and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Stir whipped cream cheese, almonds, milk, vegetable oil, honey, and salt into the yeast mixture. Pour into a blender and blend until creamy and smooth.

  3. 3

    Gradually stir the all-purpose flour and the cream cheese mixture together in a large bowl; add the whole-wheat flour. Stir until a smooth dough forms.

  4. 4

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and springy, about 8 minutes. Place the dough in the greased bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5x9-inch bread pan.

  6. 6

    Punch the dough down and knead again on a floured surface; shape into a loaf. Place the dough in the greased bread pan. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 45 minutes.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until the center is done and the top is browned, 50 to 60 minutes. If it darkens too much, cover the bread with aluminum foil during baking.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
