Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Rolls:

  1. Roll the risen dough into a ¼-inch thick rectangle.
  2. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Spoon strawberry jam over the cream cheese layer and swirl it in.
  4. Roll the dough tightly from one edge, sealing the seam.
  5. Slice the roll into 12 equal pieces.
  6. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake the Rolls:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Prepare the Glaze:

  1. Mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

Serve:

  1. Top the rolls with fresh sliced strawberries just before serving.
  2. Enjoy your warm, indulgent strawberry cheesecake sweet rolls!

Notes

  • Nutty Addition: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for extra crunch.
  • Jam Substitutes: Swap strawberry jam with raspberry, blueberry, or peach preserves.
  • Light Option: For a lighter version, dust with powdered sugar instead of using the glaze.
