Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (optional, for added texture)

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 23 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If sticky, add the remaining flour gradually. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1-1.5 hours.
  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Roll and Fill the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread the cream cheese filling over the dough, leaving a border. Spread the strawberry jam and diced strawberries (if using) on top.
  • Roll and Slice: Roll the dough tightly from the long side and seal the edges. Cut into 12-14 rolls and place them in a greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed.
  • Bake the Sweet Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cover with foil if browning too quickly. Allow to cool slightly after baking.
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust the milk for desired consistency.
  • Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls. Serve immediately for the best flavor!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Tip: Use room temperature ingredients for the best mixing results.
