Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Filling:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Kneading and Rising: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Filling and Rolling: Mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Roll the dough into a 12×16 inch rectangle. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle chopped strawberries on top. Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal rolls.
- Baking: Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Glazing and Serving: Mix powdered sugar and milk to make glaze and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries thawed and drained if fresh are not available.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese filling.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm and fresh.
