  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 260 ml (1 cup) warm milk
  • 10 g (1 tbsp) instant dry yeast
  • 540 g (4 ¼ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 65 g (⅓ cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 80 g (⅓ cup) unsalted butter, very soft
  • 250 g (1 ¾ cups) fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 100 g (½ cup) cream cheese, softened
  • 40 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened (for glaze)
  • 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree, cold (from the filling)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine strawberries, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes until thickened to jam-like consistency. Blend until smooth and refrigerate until cool.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk, butter, and egg; knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a warm place for about 120 minutes until doubled in size.
  3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the strawberry filling, and roll into a log. Cut into 12 even rolls and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  5. For the glaze, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry puree until smooth.
  6. Spread glaze on warm rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

Use thawed frozen strawberries to skip prep. Warm your milk in the microwave for ideal yeast activation. If you don’t have a stand mixer, knead by hand for about 10 minutes.
