Strawberry and Cream Cinnamon Rolls with Strawberry Filling

Ingredients:
For the Dough:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg

For the Strawberry Filling:
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed)

Directions:
1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms. Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough is soft but not sticky. Knead for 5-7 minutes, then cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Make the Strawberry Filling: In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Let cool.
3. Assemble the Rolls: Roll the dough into a 12×9-inch rectangle. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Make the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
6. Spread the frosting over the warm rolls and serve.
