Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes, let rise for 1 hour.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in strawberries and strawberry jam.
  3. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Once dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Spread cinnamon mixture on dough, dollop cheesecake filling on top. Roll tightly and cut into 12 pieces, placing them in a greased baking dish.
  5. Cover and let rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. In a bowl, whisk together cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make glaze.
  8. Let rolls cool briefly before drizzling glaze over them and serve warm.
