Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm milk (around 110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 beaten egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of warm milk, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix in 1/3 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 beaten egg, and 4 cups of all-purpose flour. Stir until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by beating together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped strawberries.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16×24 inches).
- Evenly spread the cream cheese and strawberry filling over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
- Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze on top.

Keywords: Ensure your milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. Give the dough enough time to rise for fluffy rolls. Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
