Directions

To make the dough

  1. 1

    Place the bread flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.

  2. 2

    Add the milk, cream, and sugar to the well, then sprinkle the yeast on top and allow it to dissolve (approx. 5 minutes).

  3. 3

    Stir the dough together on medium-low speed, adding the eggs one at a time (allow each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next).

  4. 4

    While continuing to mix, add the butter a tablespoon at a time, allowing each addition to fully incorporate before adding the next.

  5. 5

    Add the salt and knead the dough for at least 10 full minutes to develop the glutens and encourage elasticity.

  6. 6

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest in a warm place for one hour (or chill overnight in the fridge).

To fill, shape, and bake the strawberry rolls

  1. 1

    Roll the dough out into a rectangle shape with a thickness of about ⅛-inch (aim for about 16 inches on the short side of the rectangle).

  2. 2

    Spread soft butter all over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch clean margin on one of the short sides.

  3. 3

    Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam over the butter, then top with the chopped fresh strawberries.

  4. 4

    Cut into eight 2-inch wide strips, then roll each one into a tight spiral.

  5. 5

    Place the unbaked rolls in an 8x10-inch glass or ceramic baking dish* (spiral side up), cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour (or chill for up to 48 hours in the fridge).**

  6. 6

    If chilled, allow the rolls to come to room temperature (approx. 30 to 45 minutes).

  7. 7

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  8. 8

    Remove the plastic wrap and bake the rolls until puffed, set, and golden brown (approx. 25 to 35 minutes).

  9. 9

    Top with glaze

To make the cream cheese glaze

  1. 1

    Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.

  2. 2

    Stir in the milk.

  3. 3

    Add the lemon juice and stir until smooth.
