Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry filling by heating strawberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water until thickened. Let cool.
- Make the dough by combining warm water, light brown sugar, and instant yeast; let it sit until bubbly. Add butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, salt, and tangzhong; mix well before adding flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough until smooth and let rise for 60-90 minutes.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, then evenly layer the strawberry filling before rolling up tightly.
- Cut into rolls and let rise again before baking at 350°F (175°C) for about 23 minutes until golden brown.
- For icing, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and reserved strawberry filling; drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
