  • Instructions
  • Preparing the Cinnabon Roll Dough:
  • Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, mix the dry yeast with warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it rest for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
  • Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Add the egg, melted butter, and the activated yeast mixture. Knead for 8-10 minutes until you get a soft and elastic dough.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Shape the dough into a ball, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
  • Tip: For an even fluffier and more aromatic dough, let it rest in the fridge overnight, like with sourdough strawberry cheesecake cookies.
  • Preparing the Strawberry Cheesecake Cinnabon Rolls:
  • In a bowl, whisk the cream cheese with powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in the chopped strawberries.
  • Preparing the Cinnamon Filling:
  • In another bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
  • Shaping the Rolls:
  • Roll the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 40x30cm rectangle.
  • Add the Fillings: Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the surface of the dough, then add the cheesecake filling with strawberries.
  • Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly.
  • Second Rise: Cover and let rise for another 30-40 minutes.
  • Baking and Glazing:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown.
  • For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth..
  • Glaze the Rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over them while still warm.
