→ Glaze
13 -
4 ounces softened cream cheese
14 -

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons reserved strawberry filling
17 -
1 tablespoon to 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream, as needed for consistency
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine warmed milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle instant yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in melted butter, eggs, and egg yolk. Add bread flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
02 -
In a medium saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries have softened, roughly 6-8 minutes. Let cool completely before use, reserving 2 tablespoons for the glaze.
03 -
On a floured surface, roll out the proofed dough into a rectangle approximately 14x8 inches. Evenly spread the cooled strawberry filling over the surface, leaving a small border. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
04 -
Arrange the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, leaving space between each roll. Cover loosely and allow to rise for 30-40 minutes until nearly doubled in size.
05 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly in the pan.
06 -
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and reserved strawberry filling, then blend until creamy. Incorporate milk or cream, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
07 -
Spread glaze generously over the warm rolls. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure strawberry filling is fully cooled before spreading to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
