Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
  1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling: Combine strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Stir for about 10 minutes until thickened, then blend until smooth and cool.
  2. Make the Dough: In a stand mixer bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Gradually add warm milk, butter, and egg. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Let the Dough Rise: Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours until doubled.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough, roll into a rectangle, spread cooled filling, roll tightly, and cut into 12 sections.
  5. Second Rise: Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  6. Bake the Rolls: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy the aroma!
  7. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry puree until smooth.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Spread glaze over warm rolls and serve.
