  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

 

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, flour, and salt; mix until a dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  2. Form the Rolls: Roll out dough on a floured surface into a 16×21-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and strawberries. Roll up tightly from the long end and cut into 12 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Make the Glaze: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
  5. Finish with Glaze: Spread the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
