  2. Mix Dough: Add melted butter, salt, eggs, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until combined, then gradually add remaining flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl.
  3. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled.
  4. Make Filling: Mix softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon until creamy. Blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy.
  5. Roll Dough: Turn risen dough onto floured surface, punch down, and roll into a 16x12 inch rectangle.
  6. Fill Rolls: Spread cinnamon filling over dough, dollop cream cheese mixture, and scatter strawberries on top.
  7. Shape Rolls: Roll tightly into a log, pinch seam. Cut into 12 equal slices and place in greased baking dish.

  9. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
