Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preparing the Dough

    Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk and the yeast. Stir to dissolve, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to use.

    Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough starts to form. Knead the Dough: Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Let the Dough Rise: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours.

  2. Step 2: Making the Cheesecake Filling

    Blend the Cream Cheese: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, flour, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.

  3. Step 3: Preparing the Cinnamon Sugar Filling

    Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

    Prepare the Butter: Soften the butter until spreadable.

  4. Step 4: Assembling the Rolls

    Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a large rectangle.

    Spread the Butter: Spread softened butter over the dough.

    Add the Cheesecake Filling: Spread the cheesecake mixture over the dough.

    Sprinkle the Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the filling.

    Roll Up the Dough: Roll the dough into a log, then cut into rolls.

  5. Step 5: Baking the Rolls

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C).

    Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

    Cool Slightly: Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

  6. Step 6: Preparing the Cream Cheese Icing

    Mix the Icing: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add milk for consistency.

    Drizzle or Spread: Drizzle or spread icing over warm rolls.

  7. Step 7: Preparing the Strawberry Topping

    Slice the Strawberries: Slice and toss strawberries with sugar.

    Top the Rolls: Arrange strawberries on top of rolls.
