# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Give the warm rolls a good drizzle with your whisked-up glaze of powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Don't wait too long to enjoy—grab a roll while it's still warm for that melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
02 -
Heat your oven to 175°C. Let the rolls bake for about 25–30 minutes, and watch for them to turn golden and nicely set.
03 -
Roll up your dough from the long side to make a log. Cut into 12 slices and lay them in a greased 23×33 cm pan. Cover them up and let them chill for another 30–45 minutes till they've puffed up.
04 -
Move the dough to a floured spot and roll it out to about 30×46 cm. Spread out all that cheesecake filling, leaving a little room at the edges. Then, add a layer of the strawberry mix on top.
05 -
Toss the chopped strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice into a small pot over medium heat. Keep stirring until the whole thing thickens up and gets jammy. Let it cool down.
06 -
Grab a medium bowl and mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until it's smooth as can be. Set it aside for now.
07 -
Pour warm milk, sugar, and yeast into a big bowl and let it chill for 5 minutes till foamy. Add in butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Give it a stir, then bit by bit add the rest of the flour until the dough comes together. Knead it for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Pop it into a greased bowl, cover, and let it hang out for 1 to 1.5 hours until it’s doubled in size.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Best enjoyed warm—zapping them in the microwave makes them soft again if they cool off.
02 -
Craving a sweeter glaze? Just toss in another spoonful of powdered sugar.
