Strawberry and Cream Cinnamon Rolls

配料

Dough

1 cup warm milk (110°F )

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or 1 packet) V

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

Strawberry Filling

11/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons softened butter, for spreading

Cream Cheese Frosting

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons heavy cream (for a smoother texture)

步骤

In a small bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

In a large bowl, combine melted butter, egg, flour, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Let it cool completely.

Once cooled, mash the mixture slightly to make it easier to spread.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle (about 12x18 inches) on a floured surface.

Spread the softened butter over the dough, then evenly spread the cooled strawberry filling on top, leaving a small border around the edges.

Roll the dough tightly from the long side, creating a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.

Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.

Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls. Garnish with a few extra chopped strawberries if desired. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
