# Instructions:

01 - Combine lukewarm milk and yeast in a small bowl, stir, and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
02 - In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until dough starts to form.
03 - Knead dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
04 - Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, flour, and sour cream. Mix until fully combined. Set aside.
05 - Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Soften butter until spreadable.
06 - Punch down risen dough. Roll out into a 40x30 cm rectangle on a floured surface.
07 - Spread softened butter on rolled dough. Evenly spread cheesecake filling, then sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over it. Roll tightly from the long edge and seal the seam. Cut into 12 even rolls.
08 - Place rolls into a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed.
09 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before adding icing and topping.
10 - Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Gradually add milk to achieve desired consistency.
11 - Slice strawberries thinly and toss with sugar if desired. Arrange on top of rolls before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for best results.
02 - Freeze unbaked rolls for later use; thaw before baking.
03 - Customize fillings with different fruits like blueberries or peaches.
