  1. Don't know why I waited so long to write a review, I have baked this so many times, never a problem, always a rave review from my family and friends! I also use a bread machine, so easy , so good.
     
  2. Made the dough in my bread machine. Turned out very pretty with the icing drizzled on top. I added 1 TB butter to the icing for better flavor. Also used plain yogurt since I didn't have sour cream. Not a ton of cream cheese filling, but it would be hard to roll up if there was more. Nice solt dough texture. I might try subbing my cinnamon roll filling in here.
     
  3. I actually found this recipe on the Fleichmans yeast website about 10 years ago. I love cream cheese fillings, but was having a hard time finding anything in my local bakeries that satisfied me.<br/><br/>I tried the recipe and have been baking it ever since. I usually make it for Christmas and give it as gifts. <br/><br/>My recipe calls for a cold rise, so I make the dough at night and roll it out the next day. <br/><br/>This is a great recipe and though I have given it to friends no one is willing to do the work. Since I am a yeast lover this is right up my alley. Just don't ask me to make a layer cake.
     
  4. How can this recipe have been posted for so long and no one has reviewed it? It's pretty easy to make. It is somewhat like a Butter Braid that schools sell (frozen) for fundraisers (at $10 each). Thanks Yogi.
