Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 1/2 cup lukewarm water
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more or less as needed)

For the Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup strawberry jam
• 1 cup finely diced strawberries

For the Icing:

• 1/3 cup reserved cream cheese mixture
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 teaspoons milk
• A touch of vanilla extract

Preparation

Start by preparing the dough: In a mixing bowl, blend lukewarm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Stir in milk, melted butter, salt, eggs, and 1 cup of flour. Beat until smooth, then gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth, then let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

Next, make the filling: Beat the cream cheese until fluffy, then add 3/4 cup powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup of this mixture for the icing. In a separate bowl, combine strawberry jam and diced strawberries.

Roll out the dough on a greased surface into a 10×15-inch rectangle. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly, followed by the strawberry jam and diced strawberries. Roll the dough tightly and pinch the edge to seal. Cut into 12 slices and place them in a greased 9×13-inch pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-10 hours or overnight.

For the icing, mix the reserved cream cheese mixture with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Adjust milk for desired consistency. Store in a ziplock bag in the fridge.

When ready to bake, remove the rolls and icing from the fridge. Let the rolls rise in a warm place for about an hour. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 30-35 minutes, covering with foil if they brown too quickly. Glaze the warm rolls with the icing and enjoy!
