Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F so you’re ready to finish the rolls in a flash.
Next, warm the milk gently until it’s lukewarm, then melt that butter right in. The warmth wakes the yeast up nice.
Mix flour, yeast, sugar, lemon zest, salt, and optional cinnamon in a big bowl. Add the milk-butter mixture and egg. Stir until the dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface about 5 minutes ‘til it’s smooth and soft. Toss it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour till it’s doubled up.
Roll out the dough flat into a rectangle, spread the strawberry compote all over evenly. Roll the dough tight and slice into 1-inch pieces. Put the rolls into a greased dish, cover, let rise another 30 minutes.
Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes till golden. When done, cool a bit, then spread cream cheese icing mixed with strawberry compote and powdered sugar. Enjoy the warm, gooey yum!
Notes
Serve warm with a generous spread of cream cheese icing.
