Cream Cheese Braids(Very Good And Easy) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. commercial sour cream or low-fat yogurt
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted
2 pkg. dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water (105~ to 115~)
2 eggs, beaten (you can use Egg Beaters or 4 egg whites)
4 c. all-purpose flour

Preparation

Heat sour cream over low heat; stir in sugar, salt and butter and cool to lukewarm.
Sprinkle yeast over warm water in large mixing bowl, stirring until yeast dissolves.
Add sour cream mixture, eggs and flour; mix well.
Cover tightly; refrigerate overnight.
The next day, divide dough into four equal parts; roll out each part on a well floured board into 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 of cream cheese filling on each rectangle; roll up jelly roll fashion, beginning at long sides.
Pinch edges together and fold ends under slightly; place rolls seam side down on greased baking sheet.
Slit each roll at 2-inch intervals about 2/3 of the way through dough to resemble braid.
Cover and let rise in warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
Bake at 375\u00b0 for 12 to 15 minutes.
Spread with glaze while warm.
Yields 4 (12-inch) loaves.
