Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of active dry yeast, and ½ cup of granulated sugar.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm 1 cup of milk with ¼ cup of softened butter until just warm to the touch.
  3. Gradually pour this warm mixture into the flour blend while mixing, then add 2 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Dough Rising
  1. Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
  1. While the dough is rising, prepare the vanilla cream filling.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill.
Streusel Preparation
  1. In another bowl, mix together ½ cup of brown sugar, ½ cup of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ¼ cup of melted butter.
  2. Stir until crumbly and well combined.
Bun Assembly
  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface.
  2. Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).
  3. Spread the chilled vanilla cream filling evenly over the dough, then dollop ½ cup of strawberry jam on top.
  4. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
Baking
  1. Place the sliced buns in a greased baking dish, allowing some space for them to expand.
  2. Cover the dish with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Once risen, sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the buns.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
