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)
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 glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons milk
- Touch of vanilla
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, blend warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir in milk, melted butter, salt, eggs, and 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth.
- Add flour to make dough. Knead until smooth.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- Beat cream cheese until soft and fluffy. Add 3/4 cup powdered sugar and beat until smooth. RESERVE ABOUT 1/3 CUP OF TOPPING.
- In another small bowl, combine jam and diced strawberries.
- Roll out the dough on a greased counter into a rectangle about 10×15″. Spread the cream cheese mixture, then the berries. Roll up and pinch the edge to seal.
- Cut the log into 12 slices and place them in a well-greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
- Add the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to the reserved cream cheese mixture. Beat until smooth, adding enough milk to make a thin glaze. Then place the frosting in a ziplock bag in the fridge.
- Chill the rolls in the refrigerator for 8 to 10 hours or overnight.
- Remove rolls and bag of frosting from the refrigerator. Place the rolls in a warm place and let them rise until doubled (about an hour).
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until set in the middle. You may need to cover them with foil to prevent them from browning too much.
- Cut a corner in the ziplock bag and glaze the rolls while still warm.
Enjoy your delightful Strawberry Cream Cheese Rolls!
