Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
6 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
3 large eggs, beaten
2 (1/4 oz) packages dry yeast
1/4 cup water , tepid
1 cup sour cream
5 cups all-purpose flour
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
10 tbsp granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
4 tbsp vanilla
2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tbsp milk , more if needed
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice

Directions:

For the dough, dissolve the yeast in the water in a small bowl.
In large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, salt and eggs until well combined.
Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix well.
Add half of the sour cream and 1/2 of the flour at a time to the mixer.
Cover dough and refrigerate overnight.
For the filling, combine all ingredients until smooth.
Divide the dough into 6 even balls.
Roll out each ball into about an 8x12 inch rectangle on lightly floured surface.
Spread one-sixth of the filling among the six dough rectangles, down the center of the roll.
Roll the rectangles jelly roll style beginning at the long side.
Pinch edges together and fold ends under slightly.
Place the rolls seam side down on greased baking sheets.
I can fit two rolls on each cookie sheet.
Slit each roll at 2-inch intervals to resemble braid.
Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm area.
The dough should double.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare glaze by combing all ingredients.
While warm, spread the braids with the glaze.
