Strawberry Sweet Rolls – Soft, fluffy rolls filled with sweet strawberry filling and topped with a creamy glaze, perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat!
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup whole milk, warmed
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Filling:
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp lemon juice
For the Glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
⭐ In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together warm milk, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
⭐ Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
⭐ While the dough is rising, prepare the strawberry filling. In a saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
⭐ Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle (about 12x18 inches). Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the dough.
⭐ Starting from one long edge, roll the dough into a tight log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
⭐ Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
⭐ Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
⭐ While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls once they’ve cooled slightly.
Enjoy these soft and sweet strawberry rolls as a delicious morning treat or dessert!
