Description
Twice-leavened, gooey strawberry rolls with a homemade cream cheese frosting, perfect for breakfast or dessert. Frozen strawberries prevent sogginess and enhance flavor release, while a caramelized butter base adds richness. Serves 9.
Ingredients
12 oz fresh strawberries, diced (400g frozen if unavailable)
3 1/3 cups bread flour (or 2 cups brown rice flour for gluten-free)
8 tbsp butter (or 8 tbsp coconut oil)
4 oz cream cheese (or 1 cup dairy-free Neat cheese)

1/4 cup sugar (plus extra for dough)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup whole milk (120°F)
1 egg
