Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup whole milk (warm)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for topping)

Instructions

Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and sprinkle yeast with a teaspoon of sugar; let sit until frothy.
In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center, add yeast mixture and melted butter; stir to combine.
Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth (about 10 minutes). Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Mix cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla; fold in chopped strawberries.
Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread filling evenly, roll tightly, slice into two-inch pieces, and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
