# Needed Ingredients:

01 - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 3/4 cup warm whole milk (about 110°F)
06 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 large egg

→ Strawberry Cheesecake Filling

08 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
09 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
12 - 1/4 cup strawberry jam

→ Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

13 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
14 - 1/2 cup brown sugar
15 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

→ Cream Cheese Glaze

16 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
17 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
18 - 1 cup powdered sugar
19 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
20 - 2 tablespoons whole milk, as needed

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, blend warm milk, melted butter, and egg until fully combined. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry, mixing until a dough forms.
02 - Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for approximately 1 hour until doubled in volume.
03 - Beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until creamy. Fold in chopped strawberries and strawberry jam until the mixture is homogenous.
04 - Stir softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl until well combined and smooth.
05 - Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Evenly spread the cinnamon sugar mixture, then layer the strawberry cheesecake filling on top.
06 - Roll dough tightly from the longer edge to form a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces and arrange in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
07 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and set through.
08 - While the rolls bake, beat softened cream cheese and butter in a bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending well. Incorporate milk gradually until reaching a pourable consistency.
09 - Drizzle cream cheese glaze over slightly cooled rolls. Present warm for optimal texture and flavor.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Ensure milk is warmed to 110°F to activate the yeast without killing it. For best results, use room-temperature dairy ingredients to achieve a smoother filling and glaze.
