Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour approximate
  • 1 cup whole milk warm
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries chopped
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • 9x13 Baking Pan
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Make jam: Cook strawberries, lemon juice, and 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan. Add cornstarch slurry and thicken. Cool completely.
  2. Make dough: Mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Add butter, eggs, salt, and flour. Knead until smooth.
  3. Rise: Let dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
  4. Assemble: Roll dough into a rectangle, spread with cold jam, cut into strips, and roll up.
  5. Second Rise & Bake: Let rolls rise 30 mins. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Glaze: Whisk cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Spread over warm rolls.

Notes

  • Ensure jam is cold before spreading to prevent dough from getting soggy.
  • Milk temperature should be 110°F to activate yeast properly.
