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) very soft unsalted butter
- 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) softened cream cheese
- 40 g (3 tbsp) softened unsalted butter (for glaze)
- 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cold strawberry puree (from the filling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. Blend until smooth and chill.
- Make the Dough: In a stand mixer, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast briefly. Add in the warm milk, butter, and egg. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a draft-free spot for around 120 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
- Roll the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a large rectangle (40 x 30 cm). Spread the cooled strawberry filling evenly, leaving a small border. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into 12 even pieces.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish (9×13 inches), cover, and let rise again for 30 to 60 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) during this time.
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly in the dish.
- Prepare the Glaze: Beat together cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cold strawberry puree for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Generously spread the creamy glaze over the slightly warm rolls, letting it melt into every crevice. Serve immediately for the best experience.
