Long John is a type of doughnut shaped as a long cylinder that is either glazed or sprinkled with sugar. This type of doughnut like the round ones can also be filled with cream and jam and for our post today instead of filling it with something sweet we are using some soft cheese which is a good contrast to the sweet flavour of sugar.

I was first introduced to this type of bread back in the Philippines, precisely in Baguio City when I used to assist at my aunts tindahan. This was one of the food items they sell and I was quite curious why a lot of people buy then so I gave it a shot. Since then I understood why people kept on buying them, it was cheap I remember it was only 1 Peso each during the early 90’s, it’s filling and simply delicious. This became my merianda almost everyday paired with a bottle of soft drinks, it’s one of those simple life’s pleasures.

What made this good was the tried and tested combination of sweet and salty, the sweet sugar and the salty cheese complements each other in this fluffy soft and moist bread. I was craving for this for quite some time now but I can’t find a recipe of it anywhere online so I resorted to using my doughnut recipe in making one and here is the result.
