Instructions
Creating Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
2. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
6. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 16×12 inches.
7. Add Filling: Spread the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle the chopped strawberries over the filling.
8. Roll Up: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
9. Cut into Rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls cut side up in a greased baking dish.
10. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes, until puffed up.
11. Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
12. Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
13. Prepare Frosting: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
14. Cool and Frost: Allow the rolls to cool for about 10-15 minutes before drizzling with cream cheese frosting.
