Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk 110°F
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Prepare the Filling:
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  • Assemble the Rolls:
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 12x18 inches). Spread the cream cheese and strawberry mixture evenly over the dough. Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  • Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Bake the Rolls:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.
  • Make the Glaze:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
