Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cinnamon rolls evenly.
  2. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and 1/4 cup sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  3. Prepare Milk Mixture: Warm the milk in a separate bowl, then add the butter and stir until it has fully melted.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture, warm milk and butter mixture, salt, and egg.
  5. Add Flour and Form Dough: Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
  6. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  7. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  8. Make Strawberry Filling: While the dough rises, mash the fresh strawberries in a bowl with 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
  9. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll the risen dough into a large rectangle, preparing it for the filling.
  10. Spread Fillings: Evenly spread the cream cheese over the dough, then spread the strawberry filling on top of the cream cheese layer.
  11. Form Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log shape and cut it into 12 equal pieces to create rolls.
  12. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  13. Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  14. Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness.

Notes

  • Make sure the water and milk are warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Kneading the dough properly develops gluten, which is essential for soft and fluffy rolls.
  • If fresh strawberries are not available, frozen (thawed and drained) can be used as a substitute.
  • For extra indulgence, drizzle a cream cheese glaze over the rolls once cooled.
  • The rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for extended storage.
