Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup milk (180 mL)
- ⅓ cup margarine or butter, softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1–2 tbsps milk
- 2 tsp instant yeast (or 1 packet)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Prepare Liquid Base: Warm milk and melt butter together, allowing the mixture to cool to a lukewarm state.
- Create Dry Foundation: Thoroughly combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Form Dough: Merge egg, water, and milk-butter mixture into dry ingredients, kneading on a floured surface until a smooth, elastic dough emerges. Let the dough rest and relax for 10 minutes.
- Build Flavor Layer: Roll the dough into a 15×10 inch rectangle, spreading strawberry jam evenly across the surface. Generously dust with cinnamon and arrange fresh strawberry slices strategically.
- Shape and Assemble: Roll the dough tightly from the long edge, creating a compact cylinder. Slice into 12 even sections and position cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
- Proof and Bake: Allow rolls to rise in a warm space until doubled in volume. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for approximately 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Finish with Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk into a smooth glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls, creating a final decadent touch before serving.
Notes
- Dough Temperature Tip: Ensure milk is lukewarm, not hot, to prevent killing the yeast and disrupting dough rising.
- Kneading Technique: Develop gluten by kneading until dough becomes smooth and springs back when gently pressed.
- Rising Hack: Place dough in a warm, draft-free area like near a preheated oven to encourage optimal rising.
- Glaze Consistency: Add milk gradually to powdered sugar to control thickness, aiming for a drizzle-friendly texture.
