Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (optional)
- 1 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
Liquid Ingredients:
- ¾ cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F/43°C)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ⅔ tablespoons milk (to desired consistency)
Supplemental Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by whisking it into warm milk and a sprinkle of sugar, allowing the mixture to become frothy and aromatic for about 7 minutes.
- Create a rich base by blending melted butter, remaining sugar, egg, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel, then incorporate the activated yeast mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually fold flour into the liquid ingredients, transforming the mixture into a cohesive, tender dough that pulls away from the bowl’s sides.
- Transfer the developing dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead with rhythmic, pressing motions, developing its elasticity and smooth texture for approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Nestle the kneaded dough into a generously oiled bowl, draping a lightweight kitchen towel over its surface to create a warm, draft-free environment for rising.
- Allow the dough to expand and develop, doubling in volume over 60-90 minutes in a cozy, undisturbed location, signaling its readiness for the next preparation stage.
Notes
- Activate dry yeast carefully by ensuring milk temperature is between 100-110°F to promote perfect rising without killing the yeast culture.
- Choose full-fat cream cheese for richer, more luxurious filling that creates a smoother and more decadent texture in the final roll.
- Consider using parchment paper when rolling out dough to prevent sticking and make transferring easier without additional flour that might toughen the texture.
- Adjust rising time based on kitchen temperature – warmer environments will speed up proofing, while cooler spaces might require longer fermentation for optimal flavor development.
