- 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/3 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp of salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
- 1 cup of chopped strawberries
For the glaze:
- 4 oz of cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
2. Add sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour to the bowl. Mix well until the dough comes together.
3. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
5. Roll out the dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
6. Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
7. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Add chopped strawberries on top of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
8. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 rolls. Place the rolls in the greased baking dish.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown.
10. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well until the glaze becomes smooth and creamy.
11. Once the rolls are done, let them cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and serve warm.
