Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash 12 ounces of fresh strawberries, then stem and dice them into small pieces. Set aside.
  2. Combine 1 cup of whole milk, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of quick-rise yeast in a mixing bowl. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk to the yeast mixture and whisk. Melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter, let it cool, and stir in.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 4 cups of bread flour and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Gradually pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour as needed if it sticks.
  6. Blend 1/4 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth. Spread over the rolled-out dough.
  7. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling, sprinkle diced strawberries, and roll tightly from one end to the other.
  8. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces, place in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. For the frosting, blend 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup of freeze-dried strawberries until creamy.
  11. Spread the frosting on the slightly cooled rolls and serve warm.
