Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the filling:
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. In a separate bowl, mix the warmed milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen 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. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries and cornstarch.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cream cheese and strawberry filling evenly over the dough.
- Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze on top.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the filling.
- You can also substitute blueberries or raspberries for the strawberries for a different fruit twist.
