Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing

In this Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls recipe, I used fresh diced strawberries, along with cinnamon, melted butter, and granulated sugar. If you are looking to kick up the strawberry flavor in this dish add a thin layer of strawberry jam. It brings more moisture to the cinnamon roll and also makes that strawberry flavor pop.

I omitted it in my recipe at the request of my family. Some days we want a huge pop of strawberry, other days we want a hint. Adjust your recipe according to your family’s preferences.

Cream Cheese Icing

I used 8oz of cream cheese in my cream cheese Icing because my family loves cream cheese. My 6-year-old eats a bagel with cream cheese every morning with her hot chocolate.

Every day this girl asks for more and more, I think I’m going to have to start buying this stuff by the gallon. If your family isn’t a huge fan of cream cheese half what the recipe calls for (4oz).

How To Make The Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls Dough

Prepare the dough by starting with browning the butter, starting with this will allow the time the butter needs to cool before mixing it in. I browned my butter and set it aside for about 10 minutes, just before it cooled I added in lukewarm milk.

Add all other ingredients and then cover the dough with a heavy kitchen towel (or multiple towels) in a warm spot in your kitchen. Allow time to rest until dough has doubled in size.

Roll The Dough

Roll the dough into a rectangle that’s about 18 inches x 12 inches on a well-floured flat surface. Brush the dough with 2 Tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Add the diced strawberries generously throughout the dough. Let’s get rolling!

How to Cut the Dough

Start rolling the dough, starting from the far side towards you being cautious not to apply too much pressure. When you reach the end make sure to pinch the sides together. Cut the dough into 16 pieces or 8 Large pieces.

To make cutting the dough easier, start by cutting the dough in half. Then proceeding to cut each side in half until you reach the desired amount of pieces.

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat brown the butter. Set aside to let cool for about 10 minutes. Warm milk in a saucepan until it is lukewarm and combine with browned butter. Add yeast and stir till combined, let sit for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together 2 cups flour, sugar, and salt. To make this by hand, just knead until smooth once all of the ingredients are added, (or Add to the stand mixer with the dough hook attached, mix until smooth) Add the egg and mix until just starting to combine.

Cover the dough with a heavy kitchen towel or multiple towels. Let it sit in a warm spot in your kitchen until it doubles in size.

In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top of the strawberry filling. Starting from the side closest to you roll into a long log and pinch the ends. Cut into 16 slices or 8 large slices depending on how thick you want your cinnamon rolls. Place in a greased 15x10 inch pan and cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until just golden brown on the tops.
To make the cream cheese icing: Beat together the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla until combined. Frost over warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!

There are details left out of your recipe. Read through it as if you are not a baker. How much salt is in it? Not listed in the ingredients but told to add it with the flour. Do you add the flour mixture into warm milk and butter or in a separate bowl with a dough hook. When you add the rest of the flour you say add 1 cup of flour, maybe add into the directions 1 cup "at a time". It says to put the cinnamon and sugar on and then the strawberries and then the strawberry mixture of cinnamon and sugar, do you add the cinnamon and sugar twice? Just needs some clarifications. Recipe sounds great and I'm excited to try it.
