# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Warm the milk to 110°F. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the milk and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add softened butter, eggs, sour cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and the foamy yeast-milk mixture. Mix until the dough comes together, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 -
Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 60 to 90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
04 -
In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in diced strawberries.
05 -
Punch down the risen dough. Roll it out on a floured surface into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the dough, leaving a narrow border along the edges.
06 -
Starting from the longer edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
07 -
Arrange rolls cut side up in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving some space between each. Cover loosely and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
08 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Optionally brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
09 -
While rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to achieve a pourable glaze consistency.
10 -
Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Serve immediately while soft and fresh.
