In another small bowl, combine jam and diced strawberries.

Roll out the dough on a greased counter into a rectangle about 10×15″. Spread the cream cheese mixture, then the berries. Roll up and pinch the edge to seal.

Cut the log into 12 slices and place them in a well-greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Covering with plastic wrap also place in the refrigerator.

Remove rolls and bag of frosting from refrigerator. Place the rolls in a warm place and let them rise until doubled (about an hour).
