Ever since I made cinnamon rolls about a month ago I have been obsessed with making yeast rising pastries! So I decided to make something very similar, strawberry sweet rolls. They have a delicious cream cheese frosting and are of course perfect for breakfast.

I began by mixing 2 ½ cups of flour, the sugar, salt and the active dry yeast in the my kitchen aid mixer. A hand mixer would work too but the kitchen aid mixer makes things so much easier!

I melted the butter and put it on the counter and filled a liquid measuring cup with tepid water. I then poured milk into the same measuring cup along with the butter, make sure the liquid ingredients are slightly warm, not hot or cold!

I cracked an egg in a bowl and then and poured it into the mixer along with the tepid liquid ingredients. I used the dough hook attachment to mix on the lowest setting until everything was fully combined. I began adding flour one teaspoon at a time until the dough wasn’t too sticky so that I could easily roll it out.

I then rolled the dough into a rectangle and spread a thin layer of softened butter on top. I lastly spread on the strawberry jelly. I rolled the dough tightly and then cut it in half and then cut about 12 rolls and put them into a buttered pan.

I let the dough rise overnight. The next day I preheated the oven to 350° and baked the rolls for about 20 minutes. While the rolls baked I began making the glaze. I whisked together the cream cheese, sugar, butter and vanilla until they were all fully blended!

Once the rolls finished baking, I let them cool for 10 minutes and then topped them with the cream cheese glaze!
