Method
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix in your warm milk, yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar. Give it a quick stir and set it aside for 10 minutes until it’s frothy. If this doesn’t happen that means your yeast didn’t bloom so you will have to start the process again.. It’s important your yeast blooms.
Step 2
Heat your oven to 170 degrees or to the warm setting.
Step 3
In your mixer bowl, pour 3 1/2 cup of flour. Add in your melted butter, vanilla and sugar and turn it the first level on your stand mixer.
Step 4
While it mixes, slowly add in your milk mixture.
Step 5
Start to add in one egg at a time until they are fully mixed in.
Step 6
Turn to speed 4 on your mixer and let it knead for 5 minutes. The dough should look nice and smooth and gives a little bounce back when you poke it. If you are manually kneading the dough: Flour your surface and knead the dough for 6 minutes using a little sprinkle of flour at a time if it’s too sticky. As you keep kneading it, it should not be as sticky anymore. You should not have to use more than 1/4 cup of flour. When the dough is nice and smooth and bounces back when you poke it, form it into a ball.
Step 7
Grease your bowl with a little oil and place the inside the bowl and cover with kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Step 8
Crack open your oven door and place the bowl at the edge of the stovetop so that the bowl can be close to the cracked oven door. Leave the dough to rise for 1 hour. If not doing the oven trick, place in a warm area for 1 hour and half.
Step 9
Once the dough has risen for an hour, turn off your oven and sprinkle some flour onto your rolling surface. Place your dough on your rolling surface and slightly punch it down. Using a rolling pin, roll out your dough into a large 16×14 rectangle.

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar until it’s nice and smooth.
Step 11
Next dice about 10-12 strawberries.
Step 12
Using a spatula, spread the cream cheese all over the dough.
Step 13
Sprinkle the chopped strawberries all over the cream cheese.

Step 17
Cover the baking pan and allow the rolls to rise for 30 minutes.
Step 18
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 19
Bake for 30 minutes.
