# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
04 -
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
05 -
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
06 -
Mix together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
07 -
Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon the strawberry jam over the cream cheese filling and gently swirl it into the cream cheese.
08 -
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.
09 -
Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
10 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
11 -
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
12 -
While the rolls are baking, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
13 -
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the cream cheese glaze.
14 -
Garnish the rolls with sliced fresh strawberries before serving.
