1 loaf frozen bread dough

Let defrost on greased cookie sheet until completely thawed - doesn't have to rise (about 3 hours).

FILLING:

1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. granulated sugar

Mix 2 minutes.

Spread dough out on cookie sheet - not to cover whole sheet but to a rectangle a couple of inches from each side. Cut 16 cuts in each side leaving a middle uncut area for filling.

Spread filling in middle area. Tie 16 ends over filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Drizzle with powdered sugar, honey and milk glaze if desired.
