Your breakfast just got an upgrade. This giant sweet roll is stuffed with cream cheese, fresh strawberries and tons of flavor. It's so much fun to slice and serve!
Aunt Donna had mentioned putting cream cheese in the giant cinnamon roll post I had a while back. But I wanted to switch up the flavor profile all together and make it part sweet roll and part strawberry cheesecake.
So it is layers of whole wheat sweet roll dough around a cream cheese filling and slices of fresh strawberries. A little glaze on top and it is a perfect spring treat.

Strawberries and Cream Skillet Roll
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or additional ap flour)
- 1 T yeast
- 3 T sugar
- 1 1/4 cup milk, warmed
- 3 T butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 3 T sugar
- 1/2 pound strawberries, sliced
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 T milk or cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp lemon extract
Instructions
1. Mix the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in your mixer bowl. Add warm milk, butter and egg. Mix until completely combined. 2. Scrape down sides, then attach your dough hook. Allow it to work the dough on low for five minutes.3. Transfer dough into a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about an hour. The dough is ready when you touch it and the indent stays down.4. Pat or roll out into a 12 x 20 square on a floured surface.5. Mix together cream cheese, egg, vanilla and sugar. Spread over dough. Cut into two inch strips. Spread sliced strawberries over cream cheese mixture. 6. Roll the first strip and place in the center of a greased 12" cast iron skillet. Add the rest of the strips in circles around the center.7. Let dough rise to double again. You can let it rise on the counter for another hour, or in the fridge overnight. 8. Bake at 350 F for thirty minutes9. Mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Drizzle glaze over hot roll.10. Allow to cool slightly, but it is best served while still warm.

That would be great! The first time I made it was for a Mother's Day get together. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but everyone raved. That's always a good sign!
DeleteThis looks AMAAAAZING Carlee! I love anything that can double as breakfast AND dessert :). This needs to happen soon!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite kind of dish! Thanks, Mary!
DeleteHi Carlee, this would fit perfectly in Food on Friday under the Pot Luck theme. Hope you bring it on over. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
ReplyDeleteHi, Carole! Thank you!
DeleteI was drooling over this when you first had it on Instagram! I would be afraid of the two of us devouring it by ourselves, so saving this for the next time we have company!
ReplyDeleteHa! It is hard to stay out of it, I know from personal experience!
DeleteHi Carlee, where did you get this idea from? I love it. I've always enjoyed cinnamon rolls and Chelsea buns, but this strawberry cheesecake sweet bun sounds very, very nice indeed! And would make a prefect naughty, but nice breakfast too!

I went through a skillet roll phase a few years back. I love the spectacle of one giant roll and playing with the flavors is fun too. I ended up with a pumpkin one, a traditional cinnamon roll, a gingerbread one with eggnog glaze and this one. Now I kind of want to remake them all!
DeleteI can't wait to make this one and take the whole skillet to work! I think I'll do it soon since Strawberry Season is upon us! THanks for sharing @ Celebrate 365 Blog Party's Brunch Week Link Up
ReplyDeleteIt would definitely be a good idea to have somebody to share with! Thanks, Jan!
