Ingredients

  • For the dough:
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed (105–115°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 package active dry yeast (1/4 oz)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for rolling)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • For the filling:
  • 3/4 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the cream cheese glaze:
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, mix warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 3 1/2 cups flour, egg, butter, vanilla, and salt. Mix on medium with a dough hook until soft dough forms and pulls away from bowl sides.
  3. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1.5–2 hours until doubled.
  4. Flour a surface with the remaining 1/4 cup flour. Roll dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Slice lengthwise into 8 strips.
  5. Mix jam, strawberries, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread evenly over dough strips.
  6. Roll each strip tightly into spirals and place in a greased 13×9-inch pan. Cover and rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 35–38 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add sugar, milk, and vanilla, and mix until creamy.
  9. Spread glaze over warm rolls and serve.

Notes

  • Swap jam for raspberry or mixed berry for variation.
  • Stir extra jam into glaze for stronger strawberry flavor.
  • Use vanilla glaze instead of cream cheese if preferred.
  • To freeze, bake and cool without glaze, freeze, then glaze after reheating.
  • Microwave individual leftovers for 15–20 seconds to rewarm.
