If necessary, knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle. Roll to 15x8" rectangle. Combine cream cheese, cranberries and remaining sugar; spread over dough to within ½" of edges.
Beginning at long end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal. Form into ring; pinch ends together. Place ring, seam side down, on greased baking sheet. Cut slits, starting from outer edge, ¾ through dough at 1" intervals. Turn each section on its side to show filling. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 30-45 minutes. Bake at 375'F. for 25-30 minutes, covering with foil after 15 minutes. Remove from sheet, cool on wire rack. Frost with icing.
