# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

In a medium bowl, mix together farmer’s cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 30x45 cm). Spread the cheese filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side.

Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover the rolls with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
# Notes:

Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast effectively.
