Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 2 large eggs

For the Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced

• 2 tbsp sugar (to toss with strawberries)

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 3-4 tbsp heavy cream or milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • Mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.

   • Combine warm milk, melted butter, and eggs, then add to dry ingredients. Knead until dough is soft and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.

   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

   • Toss diced strawberries with sugar and drain excess juice.

3. Assemble the Rolls:

   • Roll out the dough into a rectangle (12x18 inches). Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface, then sprinkle strawberries and cinnamon.

   • Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 pieces. Arrange in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and let rise for 30–45 minutes.

4. Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly.

5. Make the Glaze:

   • Whisk powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Serving Suggestions

These rolls are best served warm, paired with coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast or brunch. For added decadence, garnish with whipped cream or fresh strawberries. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two days and reheated for a quick treat.
