Instructions
Rolls
In a medium bowl, whisk together the warm water and yeast and let it sit for 10 minutes, until it was foamy.
In a measuring cup add the white vinegar and then fill to the 2 cup line with milk.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
Cut in the shortening until it resembles small peas.
Stir the yeast mixture and the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Transfer the dough to a bowl lightly sprayed with cooking oil. Cover and let rise 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Filling:
In a medium bowl cream the softened cream cheese until creamy.
Mix in the zest, juice, sugar, and egg until well combined. Set aside.
Assembly:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to a large rectangle about 1/8" thick.
Spread the melted butter over the surface of the dough and dollop the cream cheese mixture on top, spreading it evenly out.
Gently roll the dough up into a log and cut into equal sized rolls (about 2") Place the rolls in the pan.
Cover the rolls and let them rest in the fridge overnight.
To Bake:
When you are ready to bake, let the rolls come to room temperature while you preheat the oven to 400F.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly baked (do not under bake or they will be doughy in the center).
Brush with 2 TBSP melted butter and them return to the oven for 1 minute.
Allow to cool for a few minutes.
Glaze:
In a medium bowl whisk together the ingredients for the glaze and drizzle on the top of the rolls.
Enjoy!
