Ingredients
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ cup warm milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup diced fresh strawberries
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
-
Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Roll the dough into a rectangle. Spread with brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle diced strawberries evenly over the surface.
-
Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 8 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 20 minutes.
-
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Mix powdered sugar, cream cheese, and milk to make a glaze, then drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
Frozen Strawberries: You can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
Make Ahead: The dough can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated overnight.
Fluffier Rolls: Kneading the dough well and allowing it to fully rise helps achieve a soft, fluffy texture.
Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
