Preparation

Step 1

Bread Machine Method:

Proof yeast by placing in the warm water and cover for 10 minutes or until foamy. Place all ingredients (wet last) in your bread machine on the dough cycle until ready.

Mix all filling ingredients in stand mixer beginning with cream cheese and sugar, then adding remaining ingredients. Reserve 1 cup of filling for your topping.

Step 2

Place dough on floured surface. (This make a good bit of dough and you may find it easier to work in two batches by diving the dough in half. Place one half to the side while working with the other half.) Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread a layer of the filling onto the dough and roll into a jellyroll.

Step 3

Gently cut the roll into 8-10, 1 1/2 slices with a serrated knife. Place side by side in a greased 13×9 pan. Repeat with second half of dough.

Step 4

Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and gently spread with reserved topping/filling. Continue to bake another 10-12 minutes or until rolls are completely baked.
