It’s suppose to be Korean Cream Cheese Garlic bread. Anyone ever had it before? Is it worth it?

I’ve made these a couple of times and they always turn out good! My one recommendation is that the recipes that I’ve found for them online tend to be a bit sweet (which I believe is pretty common for certain Korean foods). I personally like them on the more savory side so I usually add less sweetener and more salt in the filling when I make it.

Tous les Jours, a French Asian bakery, make these and it’s pretty bomb

It’s worth it. I’ve made it plenty of times. Depending on the recipe, some put a lot of sugar (1/2 cup or more) in the cream cheese filling as well as a couple of Tbs in the garlic butter. I skip sugar in the garlic butter and use just 1 or 2 Tbs in the cream cheese. Still comes out nice and tasty.

Yes! I’ve had it when I used to go Korea and made it few times. My family an in-law have asked a few times to bake it again

Never had it, but… It’s got bread, it’s got cheese, it’s got herbs… Yes it’s worth it

Wife just made this after me bugging her about it for awhile.
In short – it’s amazing. It’s very savory and rich with a hint of sweetness. 10/10 would recommend.

A cheesy, garlicky creation of bready goodness. Wow I wonder if it’s worth it OP. Such a difficult decision 😪

A bakery in Edinburgh does these. It’s so good; sweet, savoury, creamy. Top tier.

I made it a couple of times, my friends and classmates like it, but it’s a bit too rich for me and my family. It’s worth it, and you’ll never know if you like it if you don’t try it 😀

It’s so worth it. Make a big batch and freeze the rest in a durable ziplock bag. Once frozen, 20-30 secs in the microwave and you have it on demand

Oh it’s so good it’s not funny. They freeze well too! Perfect for a tea time snack or a scrumptious breakfast.

I get this all the time in a Korean Bakery. Super good!

They sell these at a local Asian bakery! I like them, but I like savory baked goods. My daughter thinks they’re way too garlicky. The bread they use is very soft and the filling is a super garlicky cream cheese.

If it has garlic in it, it’s always worth it 🤤

You had me at cream cheese. You had me again at garlic.
Send me some.

It has become very popular in India in the past one year and we make it in our bakery on regular basis. Is it worth it? To me – definitely is! Make sure to use a good bread recipe! We usually make shokupan for such buns 🙂

Bread + garlic + chesse? Definitely sounds worth at least a try

Totally. Especially served on the side of a homemade pasta.

I bake for myself first, self love is always worth it.

The first time I saw this it was for a farmer’s market stand 45 minutes away. Dropped everything to go visit it, and it was completely worth it.

I had a friend make this recently for a Korean BBQ Sunday dinner and they were fantastic!

I’ve made these more than a few times now and people have loved them. I found the recipe on this subreddit and this is the one I use: https://twoplaidaprons.com/korean-cream-cheese-garlic-bread/
However I live in the midwest and add closer to 2 cups of water rather than 1.5, first batch the dough came out quite dry.
