Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/2 cup softened butter (divided)
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Gradually mix in 1/4 cup softened butter and flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- 2. Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- 3. Make the Filling: While the dough rises, beat together cream cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in chopped strawberries.
- 4. Roll Out: Once risen, roll dough into a rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick. Spread the strawberry cheesecake filling evenly over the surface.
- 5. Cut and Bake: Roll tightly into a log and cut into individual rolls. Place in a greased baking dish and let rise again for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- 6. Frost: Mix powdered sugar with enough milk to achieve drizzling consistency; drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
