These strawberry cream cheese brioche buns look gorgeous and taste so fresh! The golden tops are soft, filled with delicious cheesecake filling, and are wonderful with tea or coffee. Grab one warm, let the filling melt in your mouth, and try not to eat the whole batch in one go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe for strawberry cream buns is a variation of my very easy-to-make eggless brioche buns<\/a> (which is an even easier take on my brioche bread<\/a>). If strawberries are your favorite, you must try my strawberry jam donuts<\/a> and strawberry swirl cheesecake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Strawberry Buns Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All-purpose flour<\/strong> gives a soft, fluffy texture. You can use bread flour, too. It will make the rolls chewier and fluffier as it has a higher protein content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeast<\/strong>: I used dry active yeast. But instant yeast works as well. Always test your yeast before adding it to the ingredients. I always like to activate yeast in a little water to check if it's fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk<\/strong> adds moisture, makes the dough tender, and helps the yeast bloom. Use warm milk with a temperature between 105\u00b0F and 110\u00b0F ( 40.5\u00b0C to 43\u00b0C). Hot milk kills yeast. Full-fat milk is best. Use plant-based milk for vegan buns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter<\/strong> makes the strawberry brioche buns rich and flavorful. I used softened salted butter. You can use unsalted butter for this strawberry cream cheese roll recipe. Just add half a teaspoon of salt to the dough. Use a plant-based butter for vegan strawberry rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cream cheese:<\/a><\/strong> Store-bought or homemade, both work. It\u2019s best at room temperature because it mixes easily and makes for a smoother filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/strong> for a little extra warmth and sweetness. You can use homemade vanilla extract<\/a> or store-bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strawberry jam<\/strong>: My last jar of sweet, fruity, and packed with-flavor strawberry jam<\/a> finished a while ago, so I used storebought jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
