Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm milk and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, letting it bloom for about 5 minutes until frothy. Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Once the yeast mixture is ready, add 4 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 eggs, mixing until well combined. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, around 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the dough into a lightly greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Place it in a warm, draft-free area to rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Spread 3 tablespoons of softened butter over the surface, and sprinkle with ½ cup of sugar and 1 ½ cups of sliced fresh strawberries. Tightly roll the dough, starting from one long edge, and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
- Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes, until they look puffy and have expanded.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown on top.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by whisking together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and creamy.
- Once the Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the warm rolls.
