Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add milk, butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours.
  3. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the cooled strawberry filling over the dough. Roll tightly and cut into 12 pieces. Arrange in a greased baking dish.
  4. Cover rolls with a towel and let rise for 30-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) during the last 10 minutes.
  5. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  6. Beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry puree. Ensure a smooth consistency. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  7. Spread the glaze over warm rolls. Serve warm as breakfast or dessert.
