Ingredients
Scale
- 260 ml (1 cup) warm milk
- 10 g (1 tbsp) instant dry yeast
- 540 g (4 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 65 g (1/3 cup) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 80 g (1/3 cup) unsalted butter, very soft
- 250 g (1 3/4 cups) fresh or frozen strawberries
- 50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar (for filling)
- Juice of half a lemon
- 100 g (1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
- 40 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened (for glaze)
- 60 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp strawberry puree, cold (from the filling)
Instructions
- Place the fresh or frozen strawberries in a saucepan with the lemon juice and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and blend with an immersion blender or in a food processor until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until cool.
- Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer: flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast. Mix briefly.
- Add the warm milk, softened butter, and the egg. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to a large rectangle, then spread the cooled strawberry filling evenly.
- Roll the dough into a tight log and cut into 12 even strips.
- Arrange the cut rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze by beating together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree until smooth.
- Spread the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
Notes
You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate. The rolls can also be shaped and refrigerated overnight before baking.
