Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup Butter, melted
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, diced and patted dry
  • 1/4 cup Butter, softened (optional for spreading)

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp Milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk to a comfortable temperature and dissolve the yeast in it. Let the yeast activate for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add in the activated yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
  2. Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling: While the dough rises, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they are well incorporated without making the filling too watery.
  3. Roll and Fill: Once the dough has doubled in size, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the strawberry cheesecake filling evenly over the dough surface. Optionally, sprinkle an additional cinnamon and sugar mix. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, pinching the edge to seal.
  4. Slice and Arrange Rolls: Cut the rolled dough into equal slices (about 12 rolls) and place them spaced apart in a greased baking dish or skillet. Cover loosely and let them rise again until puffy, about 30-45 minutes.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before glazing.
  6. Add the Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle it generously over the warm rolls for extra sweetness and shine.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure proper dough rising and smooth blending.
  • Do not overfill the rolls to prevent bursting during baking.
  • Pat dry the diced strawberries to avoid soggy dough and excess moisture.
  • Allow proper rising times for the fluffiest, softest rolls.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter before baking for a golden, tender crust.
