In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast with 1 cup sour cream; set aside for 10 minutes. Add butter and mix well. Add the egg, oil, and vinegar and mix well. Add the sifted flour gradually and continue mixing. Knead dough for about 15 minutes until smooth and firm so that it does not stick to your hands. Gather dough into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough overnight. To make the filling, mix together 1 cup of the melted butter and 2 cups flour. Add 1-1/4 cups sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; stir constantly for 1 minute, so that the mixture does not stick to your hands and becomes smooth and even. Set aside.
