Instructions

1. Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Add warm milk, warm water, egg, and softened butter. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
Roll the dough into a 12×9-inch rectangle.
Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 9-12 even slices.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for 30 minutes.
4. Bake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:
In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until creamy.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

Notes

For a stronger strawberry flavor, add a few drops of strawberry extract to the filling.
