- Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240ml) warm milk
- ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120ml) strawberry jam or preserves
For the Glaze:
- 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Roll Out the Dough
- Once risen, roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick on a floured surface.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Spoon the strawberry jam over the filling and gently swirl it with a butter knife or spatula.
4. Shape the Rolls
- Starting from a long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Slice the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
5. Second Rise
- Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover, and let them rise for 30 minutes.
6. Bake the Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Make the Glaze
- While the rolls bake, whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Glaze and Garnish
- Allow the baked rolls to cool slightly. Drizzle them with the cream cheese glaze.
- Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries before serving.
Notes
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the rolls the night before. Cover and refrigerate after shaping, then let them come to room temperature and rise before baking.
- Perfect Swirls: For neat swirls, chill the filled dough log for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Warm them slightly before serving for the best texture.
