Preparation
- Place the fresh or frozen strawberries in a saucepan with the lemon juice and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until completely cool.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast. Mix briefly. Add warm milk, softened butter, and the egg. Knead on medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly pulls away from the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the risen dough into a 40 x 30 cm rectangle. Spread the cooled strawberry filling evenly, leaving a small border on one long edge. Starting from the opposite long edge, roll the dough gently but firmly into a tight log. Cut into 12 even strips.
- Arrange rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, leaving space between. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour until puffy. Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden and soft. Cool slightly in the dish.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cold strawberry puree until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness or thickness as desired.
- Spread the strawberry cream cheese glaze generously over the warm rolls. Serve immediately.
