Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (for frosting)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk to reach desired consistency (for frosting)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center.
- Pour the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs into the well. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in chopped strawberries gently.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 16×24 inches).
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
- Slice the log into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While they’re baking, prepare the frosting by beating together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
- Once the rolls are done, let them cool for about 10 minutes before drizzling with frosting. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Allow the dough to fully rise for fluffy rolls. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it.
