Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups (420g) all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) warm milk
- 1/4 cup (60ml) warm water
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (160g) strawberry jam
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening filling)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp strawberry puree or juice (for glaze)
- 1–2 drops natural pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm milk, warm water, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt.
- Add flour gradually and knead until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5–7 minutes or until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12×18 inch rectangle.
- Spread with softened butter. In a bowl, mix strawberry jam, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Spread over the dough.
- Roll tightly from the long side and cut into 12 even rolls.
- Place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Mix powdered sugar with strawberry puree and food coloring to make the glaze. Drizzle over slightly cooled rolls.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can use fresh mashed strawberries instead of jam for a chunkier filling.
- Try adding a few chopped strawberries into the filling for texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based milk and butter.
