Instructions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and butter. Heat until the butter melts, then set aside to cool until lukewarm. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Combine the yeast mixture with 4 cups of the flour in a large bowl, stirring until it forms a dough. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour until it doubles in size.

Step 3

Combine the remaining 1 cup of flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir this into the risen dough to form a soft dough.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 5

Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon, and chopped strawberries evenly over the top.

Step 6

Roll the dough up from the longer side, creating a log, then cut it into 12 equal slices with a sharp knife. Arrange the slices in the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling.

Step 8

While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing. Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 9

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before drizzling the icing over them. Best served warm.
