Ingredients
- Dough: 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup warm water, 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted), 1 large egg (room temperature)
- Filling: 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen, drained), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon Sugar: 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, egg, and the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by beating cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle about 12×16 inches. Spread melted butter evenly, sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture, and then spread the strawberry cream cheese filling on top.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side and slice into 12 even rolls. Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to form a glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and avoid excess moisture in the filling.
- You can prepare the rolls the night before and bake in the morning after a final rise.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling.
