Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
  1. Prepare the filling by combining strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until thickened. Blend until smooth and refrigerate.
  2. Make the dough by whisking together flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk, butter, and egg, then mix. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, spread strawberry filling, and leave a small border.
  5. Roll tightly into a log, slice into 12 pieces, and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise for 30-60 minutes.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Prepare the glaze by mixing softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry puree until smooth.
  8. Spread glaze over warm rolls and serve.
