Ingredients

Units Scale

For the dough:

  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the sugar, egg, melted butter, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Punch down the dough and roll into a 10×14-inch rectangle.
  6. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Evenly distribute the chopped strawberries over the top.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from the long side and slice into 9–12 rolls. Place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 20–30 minutes.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Use strawberry jam instead of chopped strawberries for a smoother filling.
  • Add lemon zest to the glaze for a fresh twist.
  • Best served warm.
