Description
Delicious homemade Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls filled with fresh strawberry filling and topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and the egg. Stir until a soft dough forms. Turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle about 12×16 inches. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface. Sprinkle cinnamon across the butter, then gently spread the cooled strawberry mixture over the top. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into 12 even rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30–40 minutes, until puffy.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, until lightly golden on top.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls before serving.
Notes
- Kneading is essential for the dough to become soft and springy.
- The strawberries will release their juices and turn glossy and fragrant.
