- Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, blend 1/2 cup of lukewarm water with 2 teaspoons of instant yeast and 1/3 cup of sugar.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of milk, 1/3 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 eggs. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, adjusting as needed. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Prepare the Filling
- In a separate bowl, beat 8 oz of soft cream cheese until it’s soft and fluffy.
- Add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Remember to reserve about 1/3 cup of this topping for later use.
- Create the Strawberry Filling
- In another small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of strawberry jam and 1 cup of finely diced strawberries.
- Assemble the Rolls
- Roll out the dough on a greased counter into a rectangle approximately 10×15 inches.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly, followed by the strawberry filling.
- Roll up the dough, and pinch the edge to seal it.
- Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a well-greased 9×13-inch pan. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Prepare the Icing
- In a separate bowl, add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1-2 teaspoons of milk, and a touch of vanilla to the reserved cream cheese mixture. Beat until smooth, adjusting the milk for a thin glaze. Place the frosting in a ziplock bag and refrigerate it.
- Chill and Rise
- Refrigerate the rolls for 8 to 10 hours or overnight.
- Remove the rolls and the bag of frosting from the refrigerator. Allow the rolls to rise until doubled, which takes about an hour.
- Baking Time
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes, or until they are set in the middle. You may need to cover them with foil if they start browning too much.
- Glaze the Rolls
- Cut a corner in the ziplock bag and glaze the rolls while they are still warm.
