Ingredients
Scale
- For the Dough:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Strawberry Filling:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- For the Topping:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle.
- Make the Strawberry Filling: In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar, tossing gently. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes to macerate.
- Assemble the Rolls: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the dough, sprinkle with strawberries, and roll tightly from one long side. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces.
- Bake and Enjoy: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the slices on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use cold butter for flaky dough.
- Don’t overmix the dough to prevent toughness.
- Macerate strawberries for enhanced flavor.
- Distribute filling evenly for the best taste.
- Monitor baking time to avoid burning.
