1/4 C warm water
2 Tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
2 Tbs butter,melted
1 C sour cream
1 egg
2 1/2 C flour,more as needed

1/3 C butter,softened

Blend 3 mins. at medium speed,scraping bowl twice. By hand,stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface,knead until smooth and elastic about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl turning once to grease top.

Combine filling ingredients,spread over dough.
Fold dough lengthwise over filling,forming a 12x9 inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into six 9 inch x 2 inches pieces. Twist each piece loosely and place over glaze in baking dish. Cover and let rise until double in size,about an hour.

Bake @ 350*F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Invert plan onto a large platter: let set 1 minute before removing. Serve warm or refrigerate overnight.
