Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast (or 1 packet)
- ¾ cup milk (180 milliliters)
- ⅓ cup margarine or butter, softened
- 1 egg
Sweeteners and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
Icing Components:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Gently warm milk in a saucepan, incorporating softened butter until completely melted. Allow the liquid to cool to a tepid temperature.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt thoroughly, creating a dry ingredient foundation.
- Integrate the egg and water into the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive texture develops. Slowly incorporate the milk-butter blend to form a soft, pliable dough.
- Gradually fold in the remaining flour, kneading the mixture on a lightly dusted surface until smooth and elastic.
- Return the dough to the bowl, drape with a damp cloth, and allow it to rest and relax for 10 minutes.
- Carefully stretch the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 15×10 inches. Generously spread strawberry jam across the surface, creating an even layer.
- Sprinkle cinnamon liberally over the jam, then delicately arrange sliced strawberries across the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough from the long edge, creating a compact cylinder. Seal the seam by gently pinching the edges together.
- Slice the rolled dough into 12 uniform segments, positioning them cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise in a warm environment until they double in volume, approximately 30 minutes. Simultaneously, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls until they achieve a golden-brown complexion, roughly 30 minutes.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
- Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the warm rolls, creating an enticing final touch before serving.
Notes
- Make dough in advance and refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor development and easier morning preparation.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and optimal dough texture.
- Fresh strawberries work best when patted dry to prevent excess moisture in rolls.
- Check rolls halfway through baking to prevent over-browning; cover with foil if edges darken too quickly.
- Allow rolls to cool slightly before glazing to prevent runny, thin icing.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, reheating gently before serving.
