Delicious strawberry cinnamon rolls with a tender dough, bright strawberry filling, and silky cream cheese glaze.

  • Total Time: 145 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 260 ml (1 cup) warm milk
  • 10 g (1 tbsp) instant dry yeast
  • 540 g (4 ¼ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 65 g (⅓ cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 80 g (⅓ cup) unsalted butter, very soft
  • 250 g (1 ¾ cups) fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 100 g (½ cup) cream cheese, softened (Philadelphia recommended)
  • 40 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened (for glaze)
  • 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree, cold (from the filling)

Instructions

  1. Place the strawberries in a saucepan with lemon juice and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until thickened to jam-like consistency. Blend until smooth and refrigerate until cool.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk, softened butter, and egg. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Let it rise covered in a warm place for about 2 hours.
  3. Roll out the dough to a rectangle of approximately 40 x 30 cm (16 x 12 inches). Spread the cooled filling over the dough and roll tightly into a log, then cut into 12 pieces.
  4. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  5. While baking, prepare the glaze by beating cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cold strawberry puree until smooth.
  6. Spread glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

Use cooled filling to avoid steaming the dough. For a dairy-free version, swap butter with a plant-based spread.
