Making your own rolls from scratch might take some time, but the result is incomparably better than anything store-bought. The secret lies in the long rising time and the high-quality ingredients that make every bite melt in your mouth.

Ingredients

• Dough: 260 ml (1 cup) warm milk, 10 g (1 tbsp) instant dry yeast, 540 g (4¼ cups) all-purpose flour, 65 g (⅓ cup) granulated sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 large egg (room temperature), 80 g (⅓ cup) unsalted butter (very soft).
• Strawberry Filling: 250 g (1¾ cups) fresh or frozen strawberries, 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar, juice of half a lemon.
• Cream Cheese Glaze: 100 g (½ cup) cream cheese (softened), 40 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter (softened), 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tbsp cold strawberry puree (reserved from filling).

Instructions

1. Prepare the strawberry filling

In a saucepan, combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 50 g sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to a jam-like consistency. Blend until smooth and chill until completely cool. Reserve 2 tbsp puree for the glaze.

2. Make the dough

In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, 65 g sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix briefly. Add warm milk, softened butter, and egg. Knead on medium speed for 5–7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

3. Shape the rolls

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 40 x 30 cm (16 x 12 inch) rectangle. Evenly spread the cooled strawberry filling over the dough, leaving a border on one long edge. Roll up tightly from the opposite edge. Cut into 12 even rolls.

4. Second rise

Arrange rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, leaving space between each. Cover and let rise for 30–60 minutes until puffy.

5. Bake

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and set. Let cool slightly in the dish.

6. Prepare the glaze

Beat cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and reserved strawberry puree until smooth and creamy.

7. Finish

Spread the glaze generously over the slightly warm rolls. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best results, ensure your milk is warm but not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. If you want to prepare these in advance, you can shape the rolls the night before, refrigerate them, and bake them fresh in the morning. You can also freeze unbaked or baked (unglazed) rolls for longer storage.

Varianten und Anpassungen

If you prefer a more traditional spice profile, try sprinkling 1–2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon over the strawberry filling before rolling the dough. You can also experiment with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.

Serviervorschläge

These rolls are best served slightly warm, allowing the cream cheese glaze to melt perfectly into the dough. Pair them with a fresh cup of coffee or a tall glass of cold milk for the ultimate breakfast experience.
