Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a stand mixer, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and the remaining sugar. Pour in the yeast mixture and slowly add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a warm towel, and let it rise in a quiet corner for 1 hour.
Prepare the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Finely dice the strawberries and set aside.
Assemble the Cinnamon Rolls
- Once the dough has doubled in size, roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the softened butter mixture evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix evenly over the butter. Scatter the diced strawberries over the surface.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal rounds. Place them in a baking dish and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Bake the Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes until they are a beautiful golden brown.
Prepare the Frosting
- In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slather the frosting on the warm cinnamon rolls while they are still warm so it sinks into every crevice.

Notes
For a vegan version, substitute plant-based butter and almond milk. For gluten-free cinnamon rolls, use a high-quality one-to-one flour blend. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the oven at 300 degrees for about ten minutes to maintain freshness.
