  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (washed, hulled and sliced)

Instructions

  1. 1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warmed milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5–10 minutes).
  2. 2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, activated yeast mixture, flour, and salt until combined. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth.
  3. 3. First rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for about 60 minutes.
  4. 4. Prepare filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook until bubbling; stir in cornstarch mixed with water to thicken. Remove from heat and cool.
  5. 5. Shape rolls: Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread strawberry filling evenly, then roll tightly into a log. Slice into equal pieces.
  6. 6. Second rise: Place rolls in a greased baking dish; cover loosely and let rise for about 30–45 minutes.
  7. 7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. 8. Make icing: Mix softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and milk until smooth; drizzle over warm rolls.
