Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes or until foamy.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine salt, melted butter, egg, and flour. Pour in the foamy yeast mixture and mix on low speed for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Oil a large bowl, place dough inside, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature for one hour or until doubled in size.
Filling and Baking
- For the filling, transfer the freeze dried strawberries to a bag and roll with a rolling pin until powdered. In a bowl, combine strawberry powder with sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and flour. Mix well.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 24 inch by 12 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the butter.
- Roll the dough lengthwise into a long roll. Use clean string or dental floss to cut the dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Place rolls cut side down in an oiled 9x13 inch pan. Let rise for 1 hour or until almost doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350 ℉.
- Bake rolls for 25 minutes for dark pans, 30 minutes for glass or thick ceramic pans. Cool for at least 20 minutes before frosting.
Frosting
- For the frosting, use an electric mixer to cream softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over cooled rolls and serve.
