2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg and add the salt. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture and mix well.
3. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Knead the dough: Add the softened butter and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the filling and topping: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar for the filling. In a small bowl, combine the butter, sugar, flour, and milk for the crumble topping.
7. Assemble the buns: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Shape the dough into 12 balls, make an indentation in the center of each, and fill with cream cheese filling.
8. Second rise: Place the filled buns on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
