# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add softened butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix to combine, gradually adding the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
02 -
In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
03 -
In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened and jam-like. Cool completely before use.
04 -
Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread cheesecake filling evenly, leaving a small border. Spread cooled strawberry filling over the cheesecake layer. Tightly roll the dough into a log from one long side.
05 -
Cut the rolled log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife. Place rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
06 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
07 -
Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle glaze generously over warm rolls. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
These rolls taste best fresh out of the oven but can be reheated gently in the microwave for a soft texture.
02 -
For a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar.
