There’s something undeniably comforting about a freshly baked roll, warm from the oven and bursting with flavour.

These rolls are a delightful fusion of tart and sweet, with the juiciness of strawberries complementing the rich, velvety notes of melted white chocolate. Each bite is a perfect balance of flavours, wrapped in a tender, pink dough. Whether enjoyed as a weekend breakfast, an afternoon treat or a show-stopping dessert for special occasions, they bring a touch of homemade luxury to any table.

Paired with a cup of tea or coffee, they’re pure bliss.

If you’re looking for a way to elevate your baking repertoire, these are a must-try. They capture the essence of comfort and indulgence in every swirl, making them a favourite for bakers and dessert lovers alike.

Whisk together warm milk with yeast and half a tablespoon of sugar, and let it sit for 10 minutes or until foamy on top.

Mix together the flour, a tablespoon and a half of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt.

Add in one egg and an egg yolk, room temperature butter, strawberry jam, red food colouring and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

Add in the milk and yeast, and knead for about 5-6 minutes into a smooth and just slightly sticky dough.

Place in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm place to rise for 2 hours.

While the dough is proofing, prepare the filling by mixing cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla extract with a mixer until smooth and creamy. Now add in the melted white chocolate and mix until well combined. Place in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a thin rectangle, then spread the filling all over the dough evenly.

Roll it tightly into a long log, then cut off the ends.

Use a thin thread to cut it into 12 rolls, then spread them in a greased 23x33 cm casserole dish. Pour in the heavy cream, cover with a kitchen towel and leave to rise for another hour in a warm place until they proof.

Bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C/356°F for 20 minutes.

Mix cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla extract and jam until combined, then spread them over warm rolls.
