Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup strawberry jam
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk with sugar and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add flour, softened butter, and salt; mix until a dough forms.
- 2. Knead: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm area until doubled (approximately 1 hour).
- 3. Roll Out: Punch down risen dough and roll it into a rectangle about half an inch thick on a floured surface.
- 4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread strawberry jam over the dough. Mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth; spread over the jam layer.
- 5. Roll: Starting from one long edge, roll tightly into a log. Seal seams and cut into equal pieces (about 2 inches thick).
- 6. Bake: Place rolls in a greased baking dish with space between them. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
