Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (360 grams) flour
- 1 tablespoon (9 grams) dry active yeast
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup (320 grams) strawberry jam
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) warm milk
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) butter, melted
- 1 egg
Sweeteners and Spices:
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (72 grams) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (7 grams) cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate the yeast mixture by combining it with sugar and warm milk, allowing it to become frothy and aromatic for approximately 5 minutes.
- Incorporate vanilla, egg, and melted butter into the yeast mixture, blending thoroughly until smooth and well-integrated.
- Gradually fold in flour, creating a cohesive and slightly tacky dough that pulls away from the bowl’s sides.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, kneading gently into a compact ball with a soft, elastic texture.
- Place the dough in a generously greased bowl, drape with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm environment until it expands to double its original volume.
- Carefully roll the dough into a expansive rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness across the surface.
- Distribute strawberry jam uniformly, creating a vibrant fruity base, then generously sprinkle cinnamon, brown sugar, and fresh strawberry pieces across the dough.
- Carefully roll the dough lengthwise, maintaining a gentle but secure technique to prevent filling from escaping.
- Slice the rolled dough into uniform segments, arranging them strategically in a well-greased baking pan.
- Cover the rolls and permit a second rising period, allowing them to become puffy and voluminous.
- Heat the oven to 350°F, positioning the rack in the center for even baking.
- Bake the rolls until they achieve a golden-brown complexion, indicating perfect doneness.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly, permitting the flavors to settle before serving and enjoying.
Notes
- Choose instant yeast for faster rising and more consistent results in your strawberry cinnamon rolls.
- Ensure milk is warm (not hot) to activate yeast without killing it, around 110°F is perfect.
- Pat fresh strawberries dry before adding to prevent excess moisture from making dough soggy.
- For gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free blend and add xanthan
