Ingredients
Dough:
2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
¾ cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
Filling:
½ cup cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup chopped strawberries (fresh or thawed, well drained)
2 tablespoons strawberry jam (optional, for extra sweetness)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Glaze (optional):
½ cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 2 tbsp sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Whisk in melted butter and egg. Stir in flour and salt until a dough forms.
Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Make the filling: Beat cream cheese with 2 tbsp sugar until smooth. Fold in chopped strawberries and optional jam.
Roll dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface, then add cream cheese–strawberry mixture. Sprinkle cinnamon evenly.
Roll up tightly from the long edge into a log. Cut into 9–12 equal pieces and place into a greased baking dish.
Cover and let rise again for 20–30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While baking or after, whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
For sweeter rolls, use strawberry jam in the filling.
Make ahead tip: Assemble rolls the night before, refrigerate, and bake the next morning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
