Description
Delicious homemade cinnamon rolls filled with strawberries and topped with creamy frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk (lukewarm)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the milk in a saucepan until lukewarm. Combine it with yeast and granulated sugar in a bowl. Let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well in the center, add the yeast mixture along with melted butter, and mix until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about an hour or until doubled.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface, sprinkle with brown sugar mixed with cinnamon, and layer sliced strawberries.
- Roll tightly from one edge, slice into rolls about 2 inches wide, place on greased baking sheets, and let rise again while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown. Allow cooling slightly before drizzling with cream cheese frosting.
Notes
- Make sure the milk is only warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
- For best results, let the rolls cool slightly before adding the frosting.
