Description
Soft, pillowy yeasted dough swirls with a tangy cheesecake filling and sweet strawberries. These bakery-style rolls are perfect for brunch or dessert, offering a delightful balance of flavors and textures with minimal effort.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, finely chopped
Confectioners’ sugar for glaze
2–3 tbsp milk for glaze
Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk; let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy. Add flour, salt, butter, and vanilla. Knead 5-7 minutes, then let rise 1 hour.
Roll dough into 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread cream cheese mixture (blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla), top with strawberries. Roll up tightly and cut into 12 slices.
Place rolls on baking sheet, cover, and let rise 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake 22-25 minutes until golden. Cool slightly, then mix glaze (confectioners’ sugar and milk) and drizzle.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for smoother dough. For richer flavor, use strawberry puree in filling.
Store in airtight container up to 2 days. Freeze baked rolls (un-glazed) for 2 months.
