Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
Strawberry Filling
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Strawberry Icing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries pureed
  • 1 tablespoon cream or milk adjust for desired consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Pan
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk in a large bowl. Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, salt, and gradually mix in the flour to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic.
  2. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  3. For the filling, mix chopped strawberries, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
  4. Roll out dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the dough.
  5. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal slices. Place slices in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise again until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. For the icing, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, cream (or milk), and vanilla until smooth. Adjust consistency with more cream or powdered sugar if needed.
  8. Drizzle icing over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

These strawberry cinnamon rolls are best served warm and can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat gently before serving if desired.
