Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Dry active yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm (about 110°F/43°C). Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast over the milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, sugar, and salt. Add the milk and yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, kneading until the dough is soft and elastic (around 8-10 minutes). Add more flour if necessary, one tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the strawberry filling. In a small saucepan, combine diced strawberries, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Set aside to cool.
For the cream cheese filling, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out onto a floured surface to form a rectangle approximately 16x12 inches.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Spoon the cooled strawberry filling over the cream cheese layer.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
Place the slices in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, leaving some space between each roll. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Optional: While the rolls bake, make a glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and remaining vanilla extract. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Serve the rolls warm and enjoy!
