Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Rolls:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk, warmed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup sour cream

1 cup strawberries, chopped

For the Strawberry Glaze:

1 cup strawberries, pureed

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough:

    - In a large bowl, combine warmed milk, melted butter, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

      - In another bowl, combine flour and salt. Slowly mix the flour into the yeast mixture, followed by eggs. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

        First Rise:

          - Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

            Prepare the Filling:

              - In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add sour cream and mix well, then gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

                Assemble the Sweet Rolls:

                  - Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough and leave a small border around the edges.

                    - Roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, then slice it into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.

                      Bake the Rolls:

                        - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

                          Prepare the Strawberry Glaze:

                            - While the rolls are baking, combine pureed strawberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.

                              Glaze the Sweet Rolls:

                                - Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the strawberry glaze over the warm rolls.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Cut and serve the rolls warm, allowing the delicious flavors of cheesecake and strawberries to delight your taste buds.
