Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk, warm
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 3–1/2 cups plus 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup seedless strawberry jam
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1–1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl of a stand mixer, stir together warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top; let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
- Turn mixer speed to medium; gradually mix in 3-1/2 cups flour, egg, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until dough comes together and pulls away from the sides.
- Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Cover with a towel; let rise at room temperature for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Sprinkle a cutting board with the remaining 1/4 cup flour. Transfer dough to floured surface. Roll dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle.
- Cut 8 even strips of dough down the length of the rectangle.
- In a small bowl, stir together strawberry jam, chopped strawberries, and cinnamon. Spread the mixture evenly over the dough.
- Starting with the long end of each strip, tightly roll the dough to form a roll. Repeat with all strips.
- Place in a greased 13×9-in. baking dish. Cover with a towel; let rise an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Bake for 35-38 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Meanwhile, place cream cheese and butter in a bowl. Beat on medium speed until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Gradually mix in confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract; beat another 1-2 minutes.
- Spread cream cheese glaze on warm cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast.
- You can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are unavailable.
- Adjust baking time if using a different oven.
