Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour plus 2 Tbsp if needed
  • 2 tsp instant or active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 21-oz can strawberry pie filling
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3 Tbsp salted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp freeze-dried strawberries crushed
  • 3 Tbsp half & half
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Gently warm milk and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter melts. Let cool until just lukewarm.
  2. In a mixer bowl, whisk 2¼ cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add egg and water; stir to combine.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk mixture while mixing on low. Add remaining flour until dough pulls from bowl. Knead 6–7 minutes (or 10 by hand) until smooth.
  4. Shape into a ball, cover, and rest 10 minutes. Roll into a 9×15″ rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Spread strawberry pie filling evenly. Mix cinnamon and sugar; sprinkle over top. Tightly roll from the long side, sealing seam.
  6. Trim ends, cut into 12 slices with a sharp knife (wipe blade between cuts). Arrange in a greased 9×13″ pan; cover and proof 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake rolls 30 minutes or until lightly golden.
  8. Beat cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in half & half, lemon juice, zest, and strawberry powder. Spread over warm rolls.
