Ingredients

  • For the dough:
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, warm
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • For the filling:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • For the cream cheese glaze:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. While dough rises, cook strawberries with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch until thickened. Let cool.
  5. Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over it, then spread the strawberry filling evenly.
  6. Roll dough tightly from the long side and slice into 9–12 rolls.
  7. Place rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30–40 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. While baking, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make the glaze.
  10. Let rolls cool slightly before drizzling with glaze and serving warm.

Notes

  • Use strawberry jam or preserves for a quicker filling alternative.
  • Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for texture.
  • Drizzle white chocolate over the glaze for extra indulgence.
  • Try mixed berries for a different fruit variation.
