Tools to Use

Large mixing bowl
Rolling pin
Baking sheet or pan
Knife and cutting board
Whisk (for glaze)

Ingredients

For the Dough:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons)
1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg

For the Filling:

½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

For the Strawberry Glaze:

½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh strawberry puree (blended strawberries)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 teaspoons milk (to adjust consistency)

Instructions

Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined. Gradually add in the flour and knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
Let the Dough Rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until it doubles in size.
Prepare the Filling:
- While the dough is rising, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces, keeping them aside for later.
Roll Out the Dough:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 12×8 inches).
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter.
Add the Strawberries:
- Evenly distribute the chopped strawberries over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Form the Rolls:
- Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 8-10 even slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Bake the Rolls:
- Place the rolls in a greased baking pan or on a baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Make the Strawberry Glaze:
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk to get the desired glaze consistency.
Glaze the Rolls:
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the strawberry glaze over the top.
Serve:

Serve the rolls warm with extra glaze on the side, if desired. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!

Tips for Cooking

Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh strawberries add a burst of flavor to these rolls, but you can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available. Just be sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture.
Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter roll, you can add a little more sugar to the filling or glaze.
Extra Fluffiness: For extra soft rolls, let the dough rise longer for an airier texture. You can also try using whole milk or buttermilk for a richer flavor in the dough.
