1. Combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5-10 min until foamy.
2. Add egg, egg yolk, and melted butter, mix.
3. Stir in salt and flour.
4. Mix until a soft dough forms.
5. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes.
6. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-1 1/2 hrs or until doubled.
7. For the filling, mix the butter, brown sugar, nutella, and cinnamon until fully combined/spreadable.
8. Roll the dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
9. Spread the filling evenly and sprinkle chopped strawberries all over.
10. I like to use a pizza cutter to first slice 8 pieces then roll them each up tightly.
11. (Or you can tightly roll the whole thing then slice)
12. Place in greased 9x13 pan.
13. Cover and let rise 30-45 more min.
14. Pour warm heavy cream over the rolls right before baking.
15. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22-25 min until golden.
16. Let it cool just slightly then spread nutella over the warm rolls and top with sliced strawberries.
