Step-By-Step Instructions
- Warm milk in a saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form. Stir in butter until melted, then cool to lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C).
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and lemon zest. Whisk thoroughly.
- Add the lukewarm milk mixture and egg to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined, then add remaining flour until dough forms.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll dough into a rectangle (12 by 9 inches) on a floured surface.
- Spread strawberry compote evenly across the dough and sprinkle cinnamon on top if desired.
- Slice the dough into 12 strips (about 1 inch wide) and roll each strip tightly.
- Place rolled dough in a greased baking pan, covered with a cloth, and let rise until doubled in size (about 45 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (190°C) during the second rise.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Whip together cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream to desired icing consistency.

Notes
Ensure milk is lukewarm around 110°F to activate yeast. Avoid overbaking for soft rolls. Cool briefly before icing to maintain creamy texture.
