<RecipeText>Prepare dough from hot roll mix according to pkg. directions, using yeast packet.  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 4 or 5 times.  Divide dough in half.  Roll each portion of dough to a 12x8&quot; rectangle.

Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add cream cheese and next 4 ingrdients to bowl.  Process until blended.  (Or beat cream cheese and next 4 ingredients at medium speed of an electric mixer until blended.)  Spread half of cream cheese mixture lengthwise down center of each dough rectangle.

Working with 1 dough rectangle at a time, cut nine 3&quot; deep slits into each long side of dough.  Fold strips over cream cheese filling, alternating sides and making a braid.  Pinch ends to seal, and tuck under, if desired.  Carefully place loaves on greased baking sheets.

Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 30 minutes.  Brush tops with beaten egg yolk.  Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden.  Combine powdered sugar, milk, and 1 tsp. vanilla, stirring well; drizzle over warm loaves.</RecipeText>
