Steps / Instructions

Troubleshooting / Pro Tips

• If your rolls don’t rise well, ensure that your yeast is fresh. Test it by mixing it with warm water and sugar; it should foam within 5-10 minutes.
• For extra fluffy rolls, be patient during the rising times. This is crucial for developing the dough’s texture.
• Don’t skip the cream cheese frosting; it balances the sweetness of the rolls with a tangy flavor that’s irresistible.
• Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon filling for an aromatic kick.

FAQ

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls up to the second rise, cover them, and refrigerate overnight. Let them come to room temperature before baking.

Can I freeze them?
Absolutely! Bake the rolls, let them cool, then freeze in an airtight container. To reheat, thaw and warm in the oven.

What substitutions can I make?
You can use almond flour for a gluten-free option. Substitute the strawberries with any fresh fruit like blueberries or raspberries for different flavors.

Why did my rolls turn out dense?
This may happen if the dough was over-kneaded or didn’t rise long enough. Ensure to knead just until smooth and let rise in a warm area.

What can I serve with this?
These Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls pair wonderfully with fresh fruit, a side of yogurt, or even a cup of coffee for a delightful brunch.

Ingredients

US Metric

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons Instant yeast (1 packet)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/3 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries (chopped)
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

1.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well to combine.

2.

In a separate bowl, heat the milk until warm (about 110°F) and whisk in melted butter. Add the warm milk mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients.

3.

Gradually add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5.

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 15x20 inches).

6.

Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Top with chopped strawberries.

7.

Roll the dough tightly from one long end to the other and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place rolls in a greased baking dish.

8.

Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes until fluffy.

9.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top.

10.

While baking, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Once rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before spreading the frosting on top.
