Method
 

Prepare Filling
  1. In a saucepan, combine fresh strawberries, 0.25 cups sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Cook until thickened, then set aside.
Make Dough
  1. In a large bowl, mix together 3 cups bread flour, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, heat 1.16 cups whole milk until warm, add 2.25 tsp active dry yeast, and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Add milk mixture, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup room temperature salted butter to flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Shape Rolls
  1. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the reserved strawberry filling evenly over the surface.
  2. Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.
  3. Cover and let rise until puffy (about 30-45 minutes).
Bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare Frosting
  1. In a bowl, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp salted butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tbsp heavy cream, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.
  2. Once the rolls are baked, let cool slightly and then frost with the cream cheese frosting.

Notes

These rolls can be made ahead of time by refrigerating them before the final rise, then baking them fresh in the morning.
