Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, water, and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a mixing bowl, blend all-purpose flour, salt, softened butter, and egg. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture and mix until a cohesive dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
- Meanwhile, pulse freeze-dried strawberries into fine powder. Combine it with sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a bit of flour in a separate bowl.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a 24x12 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter and sprinkle the filling mixture.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to form a log, then slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased pan, cover with a towel, and let rise for another 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool in pan for 20 minutes.
- Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the warm rolls.
