Delicious Strawberry Sweet Rolls Recipe to Satisfy Your Cravings

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk, warm
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 pinch nutmeg

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

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

    Ensure the milk is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.

    Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
  3. Let it Rise

    Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    Place it in the oven with the light on for warmth.
  4. Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix chopped strawberries, cream cheese, and lemon zest.

    Add a touch of sugar if strawberries are tart.
  5. Roll and Fill

    Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the strawberry filling, and roll tightly into a log.

    Slice the log into equal pieces.
  6. Second Rise

    Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) during this time.
  7. Bake the Rolls

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
  8. Glaze and Serve

    Mix powdered sugar with a little water to make a glaze and drizzle over the warm rolls.

    Serve warm for the best experience.
