OVERNIGHT STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE SWEET ROLLS
These glorious overnight strawberry cream cheese sweet rolls are amazing because they can be made ahead of time and baked fresh when you want them!
yield: 24 sweet rolls
INGREDIENTS:
DOUGH:
- 4 1/2 cups (22.5 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons instant yeast
- 1/3 cup (2.5 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 large eggs (7 ounces)
- 1 1/4 cup hot water
- 8 tablespoons (4 ounces) butter, melted
FILLING:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) powdered sugar
- Zest of a lemon (about a teaspoon)
- 1 to 2 cups strawberry jam, depending on how jammy you want them
GLAZE:
- 1 cup (4 ounces) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk, plus more if needed
- Splash of vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
- In a large bowl (to allow for about 7-8 cups of dough to double in bulk), whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs and pour them into the well. Use the same measuring cup for the hot water. Pour it around the edges of the well (not directly on the eggs) and then add the melted butter to the bowl. Use a large spoon to mix the ingredients together until a soft, rather wet dough is formed. It won’t look like traditional cinnamon roll dough; it will be much softer and it’s ok if it looks a bit lumpy. Magic happens overnight, I promise.
- Cover the bowl with greased plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for 8-10 hours.
