Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or 1 packet)

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 large egg

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons softened butter (for spreading)

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Make the Dough:

    • In a bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

    • Combine melted butter, egg, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and mix into a soft dough.

    • Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.

  • Prepare the Strawberry Filling:

    • In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened.

    • Let cool completely, then mash slightly.

  • Assemble the Rolls:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

    • Roll out dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter, then the cooled strawberry filling, leaving a small edge.

    • Roll into a log and cut into 12 pieces. Place in baking dish, cover, and let rise for 20–30 minutes.

  • Bake the Rolls:

    • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

  • Make the Frosting:

    • Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream, and beat until fluffy.

  • Frost and Serve:

    • Spread frosting over warm rolls and serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for a brighter flavor or frozen for convenience.

  • For extra decadence, add white chocolate chips to the filling before rolling.

  • Rolls can be made the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
