Instructions:

Blending warm water, yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl, you’ll embark on a journey to create these delightful Strawberry Cream Cheese Rolls. Let’s break it down step by step:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Create the Strawberry Filling
   • In another small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of strawberry jam and 1 cup of finely diced strawberries.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Glaze the Rolls
   • Cut a corner in the ziplock bag and glaze the rolls while they are still warm.
