Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk. Let it sit until the mixture is foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.
  2. Prepare Dough: Add granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, salt, eggs, and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
  3. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Roll Dough: Punch down the dough to release air and roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
  6. Add Filling: Evenly spread the diced fresh strawberries, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon over the rolled dough rectangle.
  7. Shape Rolls: Carefully roll up the dough from one long side to form a log. Cut the log into even slices to form individual rolls.
  8. Second Rise: Arrange the slices in a greased baking dish with some space between each. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
  9. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Prepare Glaze: While the rolls are baking, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth to create the glaze.
  11. Glaze and Serve: Remove the warm cinnamon rolls from the oven and drizzle the vanilla glaze over them before serving to add a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Kneading the dough properly helps develop gluten for soft rolls.
  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, you can macerate the diced strawberries with a teaspoon of sugar before spreading them on the dough.
  • Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the dough log to prevent squashing the rolls.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently before serving to restore softness.
