Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • medium saucepan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients
  

Strawberry Filling

  • 1.5 lbs Fresh Strawberries
  • 0.25 cups Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon Water

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 3 cups Bread Flour
  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1.25 cups Whole Milk
  • 0.5 cups Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1.5 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 0.5 cups Whole Milk for yeast activation
  • 2.25 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 cups Salted Butter room temperature

Strawberry Glaze

  • 4 oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoon Salted Butter room temperature
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Heavy Cream
  • 2 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 3 tablespoon Reserved Strawberry Filling from above

Instructions
 

  • Make the strawberry filling. Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries begin to soften, about 20 minutes. Mash the strawberries occasionally to help release the juices.
  • Mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then pour into the strawberry sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes until thickened.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together bread flour and all-purpose flour. Remove 3 cups of this mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • To the stand mixer bowl, add 1 cup whole milk and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • In the large bowl, add granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the remaining flour mixture and whisk to combine. Microwave ½ cup milk until warm, about 105-100 degrees F. Add yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar; let stand until foamy.
  • Add the yeast/milk mixture and the remaining flour mixture to the stand mixer bowl. Knead until a cohesive dough forms and then mix on medium-low until smooth, about 2-5 minutes.
  • Begin adding room temperature butter 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition.
  • Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Turn out dough onto a floured surface, shape into an 18×12-inch rectangle. Spread strawberry filling on the dough and cut into 12 equal strips.
  • Roll each strip into a spiral and place in a baking dish. Cover and let rise until puffy, about 25 to 40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake rolls until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
  • For the glaze, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and lemon zest until fully combined.
  • Spread glaze over warm cinnamon rolls. Let cool for 30-45 minutes if you prefer a thicker glaze.

Notes

Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving for best results.
