  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Dough

  • 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

Filling

  • 250 g (1 ¾ cups) fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
  • Juice of half a lemon

Glaze

  • 100 g (½ cup) cream cheese, softened (Philadelphia recommended)
  • 40 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
  • 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree, cold (reserved from filling)

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and instant dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the room temperature egg and softened butter, then pour in the activated yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Make Strawberry Filling: While the dough rises, combine fresh or frozen strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until strawberries break down and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool, then puree half of the mixture and reserve the puree for the glaze. Leave the rest as chunky filling.
  4. Roll Dough: Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangular shape, roughly 16×12 inches.
  5. Assemble Rolls: Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the dough rectangle. Carefully roll the dough from the long edge into a tight log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
  6. Second Rise: Place the rolls cut side up in a greased baking dish or pan, leaving some space between each roll. Cover and allow them to rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While the rolls bake, combine softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and the reserved cold strawberry puree. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  9. Glaze Rolls: Once rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, spread the cream cheese strawberry glaze generously over the top.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh strawberries for the filling, but frozen can be used if fresh are unavailable.
  • Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • The dough can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight for a slower rise.
  • Serve the rolls slightly warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar in the filling or glaze accordingly.
