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) unsalted butter, very soft
- 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) cream cheese, softened (Philadelphia recommended)
- 40 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened (for glaze)
- 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp strawberry puree, cold (from the filling)
Instructions
- Start by placing the fresh or frozen strawberries in a saucepan with the lemon juice and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. Blend smooth with an immersion blender or in a food processor. Cover and refrigerate until cool.
- In your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast. Mix briefly, then add the warm milk, softened butter, and the egg. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes on medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover it with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 120 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the risen dough to form a large rectangle, approximately 40 x 30 cm (16 x 12 inches). Spread the cooled strawberry filling evenly, leaving a border at the longer edge. From the opposite long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut it into 12 even strips.
- Arrange the cut rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between each. Cover with a cloth and let rise for another 30 to 60 minutes until puffy. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and soft. Cool slightly in the dish.
- As the rolls cool, prepare the glaze by beating the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cold strawberry puree in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness as needed.
- Spread the warm cinnamon rolls generously with the strawberry cream cheese glaze. The warmth will make the glaze melt into all the crevices. Serve immediately and enjoy these beautiful, sweet rolls!
