Ingredients:  
Pastry:

1/2 cup melted butter
2 packaged dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
2 beaten eggs
4 cups flour

2 8-ounce packages cream cheese at room temperature

Directions:
Remove pastry from refrigerator and let rest for 20 minutes. Divide dough
into 4 parts and roll out each part on floured board until 1/4 inch thick.
Spread 1/4 of filling on each part and roll up and pinch seams and fold
down sides to contain the filling. It’s sloppy but it does not matter. Put
seam side down on cookie sheet. Dust top with a bit of flour.

Cover with tea towel and let rise until it doubles in size - 1 hour or a little more.

Bake at 350 BRIEFLY for maybe 15 minutes until top is turning light brown. Don't over or under bake. Pour glaze over baked pastry while still hot.
