Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk and the yeast. Stir to dissolve, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to use.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough starts to form. Knead the Dough: Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Let the Dough Rise: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours.
Blend the Cream Cheese: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, flour, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Prepare the Butter: Soften the butter until spreadable.
Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a large rectangle.
