Step-by-Step Instructions
- Proof Yeast: In a small bowl, stir together warm whole milk, active dry yeast, and sugar. Allow to sit until bubbly and frothy.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine eggs and melted butter with the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, sugar, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Prepare Strawberry Jam: Cook chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice until thick, then stir in a cornstarch slurry to thicken. Refrigerate to cool.
- Shape Rolls: Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread with cooled jam, cut into strips, and roll each strip tightly into spirals.
- Second Rise: Place spirals in a greased pan, cover, and let rise for about 30 minutes until puffed.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F and bake rolls until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
- Make Icing: Beat cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar together. Add lemon zest and milk to achieve desired consistency.
- Icing the Rolls: Drizzle icing over warm rolls and let set before serving.

Notes
Allow homemade jam to cool for at least 2 hours before using. Prepare rolls the night before for easy morning baking.
