Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.)
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is lukewarm. Do not boil.
Add the warm milk-butter mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle roughly 12x16 inches.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Scatter the fresh berries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Arrange the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
