Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the active dry yeast and warm water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, sugar, warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until well combined. Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mixing bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and strawberry jam. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 16 x 21-inch rectangle. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the chopped fresh strawberries on top of the filling.

Step 6

Roll up the dough tightly from the long end, making sure to seal the edges. Cut the rolled dough into 12-15 even slices.

Step 7

Place the slices on a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the rolls are golden brown.

Step 8

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the warm rolls. Serve the strawberry rolls warm and enjoy!
