Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup milk, warmed

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup cream cheese, softened

¼ cup powdered sugar

½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped

1 teaspoon lemon juice

¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)

2-3 tablespoon milk (for icing)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

- Add melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix well.

- Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.

- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

First Rise:

- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling:

- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth.

Roll Out the Dough:

- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle (about 12x18 inches) on a floured surface.

Assemble the Rolls:

- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly across the rolled-out dough.

- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Cut the Rolls:

- Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces. Place them cut-side up in a greased baking dish.

Second Rise:

- Cover the dish with a cloth and let the rolls rise in a warm environment for another 30 minutes.

Preheat Oven:

- While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the Rolls:

- Bake the sweet rolls for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Make the Icing:

- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency.

Finish:

- Once the rolls are done, let them cool slightly, then drizzle the icing generously over the top.

Serve:

- Enjoy warm as a delicious breakfast or dessert option!
