Cream Cheese Coils

• 3 3/4 - 4 1/4 cups flour (you may sub 1/4 cup wheat germ or bran for 1/4 cup of the flour)
• 3/4 cup sugar, divided
• 2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1 egg
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• Glaze
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 -4 teaspoons water

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, yeast and salt. In saucepan, heat the milk, water and butter to 120*F-130*F. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat on high for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.
2. Now turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 18 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball; roll each into a 15" rope. Holding one end of the rope, loosely wrap dough around, forming a coil. Tuck the end under; pinch to seal. Place the coils 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, egg yolk, vanilla and remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Using the back of a spoon, make a 1" wide indentation in the center of each coil; spoon a rounded tablespoon of cream cheese mixture into each indentation.
4. Bake at 400*F. for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks to cool.
5. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and enough water to get a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled rolls. Store in the fridge, and enjoy!
