How To Make Strawberry Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing
- Start by hulling and chopping up a cup full of strawberries. Take a mixing bowl and combine the strawberries with granulated sugar. Let that sit for a bit to juice up.
- Next, take another bowl and combine the flour and yeast. Then, add in the warm milk, stirring gently to form a dough. Knead that dough until it���s smooth. Cover and allow it to rest for a minute.
- Add softened butter and eggs to the dough and knead until everything’s incorporated well. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, and spread the sugar-soaked strawberries evenly over it. Roll the dough, seal the edge, and cut into pieces. Place the pieces on a baking tray and let them rise until they double in size.
- While the rolls are rising, it’s time to prepare the icing. Simply mix the cream cheese with powdered sugar until it’s smooth and fluffy. When the rolls are baked and still warm, drizzle that delightful icing all over them.
