Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and diced)
Instructions
- Activate yeast by combining warm milk and granulated sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top; let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Create a well in the center; add melted butter, beaten egg, and activated yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While dough rises, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in diced strawberries.
- Roll out dough into a rectangle; spread cream cheese filling evenly, leaving edges clear. Roll tightly into a log and slice into equal pieces.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place sliced buns on lined baking sheets; let rise for another 30 minutes before baking for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
