I use this same recipe adding strawberry glaze (found in produce section at grocery) on top of cream cheese filling. They always are a big hit where ever I take them

I used this same recipe to make Cream cheese rolls. The only difference was that I used 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 all purpose flour. These can also be frozen after glazing and then reheated in the microwave (it only takes about 1 minute to reheat 2 rolls in mine). These are great for breakfast, especially when they're already done and in the freezer just waiting to be reheated!
