❤️ 3 + 1/2 cups all purpose flour 

❤️ 1/4 cup sugar 

❤️ 1 Tbsp. dry yeast 

❤️ 1 cup warm water 

❤️ 1/4 cup oil 

❤️ 1/4 tsp salt 

❤️ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Whip together:

1 package room temperature cream cheese 

2 tbsp sour cream 

2 tbsp corn flour 

2 tbsp sugar 

1 tsp vanilla 

1 egg

1 tbsp lemon zest 

Syrup

Bring to a boil:

(cook until thickened a bit)

1/2 cup of sugar 

1/2 cup of water 

1 tsp of lemon juice 

Directions

kneed all dough ingredients for 7-10 minutes. 

Place dough inside a large bowl, oil spray & cover the dough with a plastic wrap, a bag or a towel, let rise 20 minutes.

Punch in dough, kneed for 1 minute and let rise covered , 1 hour, (oil spray on top of dough to avoid drying).

After dough has about doubled, knead about 2-5 minutes and start flattening the dough with a rolling pin sprinkling some flour to avoid dough sticking to the surface. Flatten to a thin square layer.

Spread cheese mix on top of the flat dough sheet then roll completely, cut to equal slices or leave as a large roll (see video) and place in an oiled pan.

Let rise covered another 25 minutes. 

bake at 365 degrees F for 20-30 minutes. Ready when golden brown.

Drizzle syrup when hot out of the oven ❤️
