Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh or frozen strawberries with granulated sugar and a splash of lemon juice. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Blend until smooth and chill in the refrigerator.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt until combined. Slowly pour in warm milk, egg, and melted butter, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
- After rising, punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the cooled strawberry filling evenly over the dough and roll it tightly. Cut into 1.5 inch pieces.
- Place the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish and cover. Let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until well combined.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately.
