  5. Shape the Rolls: Roll dough into a large rectangle. Spread the chilled strawberry filling, roll tightly, and slice into 12 rolls.
  6. Second Rise: Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish, cover loosely, and let rise for 30-60 minutes.
  7. Bake the Rolls: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden.
