Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Strawberry Sweet Rolls
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk with active dry yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt into the mixture. Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, gently combine fresh chopped strawberries with cornstarch and strawberry jam.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Evenly spread the cream cheese filling over the dough, followed by the strawberry mixture. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
- Arrange the cut rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between them to allow for expansion. Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, or until they are puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, place the rolls in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Allow the Strawberry Sweet Rolls to cool slightly. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze.
- Drizzle this luscious glaze over the warm rolls and top with fresh strawberries for an inviting presentation.
