# Ingredient List:

→ Dough

01 - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
03 - 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
06 - 2 large eggs, at room temperature
07 - 1/2 cup sour cream
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
09 - 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Cheesecake Filling

11 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
12 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
13 - 1 cup powdered sugar
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Glaze

15 - 1 cup powdered sugar
16 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
17 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# 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.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For even rising, ensure ingredients are at room temperature and dough is kneaded until fully elastic.
