Ingredients

Units Scale

For the dough:

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

For the strawberry cream cheese filling:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the crumble topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough:
    • In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
    • Add the melted butter, egg, remaining sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
    • Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
    • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the strawberry filling:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
    • Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Let it cool completely.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Make the crumble topping:
    • In a small bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Assemble the rolls:
    • Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 12×18 inches. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
    • Spread the strawberry filling on top of the cream cheese layer.
    • Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into 12 even rolls and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rolls. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  5. Bake:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Make the glaze:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
  7. Finish and serve:
    • Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately.

 



Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm them slightly before serving.
  • Substitute strawberry filling with raspberry or blueberry filling for variety.
  • Add a sprinkle of sliced almonds or chopped nuts to the crumble for extra texture.
