Recipe:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, mix the warm milk with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the remaining sugar, egg, and melted butter. Gradually add 250g of flour, kneading until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. Add more flour if needed.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla pudding mix (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, followed by a thin layer of jam.
- Roll up the dough from the long side, then cut into smaller rolls.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rise for another 5 minutes while preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake:
- Bake the rolls for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk until a thick, pourable glaze forms.
