Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup whole milk, warmed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Glaze Ingredients

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk slightly and dissolve the yeast and granulated sugar in it to activate. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, and the yeast mixture, then knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, taking care to preserve their texture and distribute evenly throughout the filling.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Evenly spread the cream cheese and strawberry filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into even rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  4. Second Rise and Baking: Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let them rise again in a warm spot until puffy, about 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Glaze and Serve: While the rolls cool slightly, prepare a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls and serve fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure dairy and eggs are at room temperature for better dough rise and consistency.
  • Knead the dough just until smooth to keep rolls tender and fluffy, avoiding toughness.
  • Use fresh strawberries for optimal flavor and texture rather than frozen or canned.
  • Cut the rolled dough with a serrated knife or dental floss to avoid squishing and achieve uniform slices.
  • Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free environment to activate the yeast properly.
