Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Milk, lukewarm
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Filling Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Fresh Strawberries, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Strawberry Jam
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm. Activate the yeast by dissolving it with a small amount of sugar and warm water. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, the yeast mixture, salt, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix and knead until the dough is soft and elastic. Cover with a clean towel and let it rise for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
- Make the Strawberry Filling: While the dough is rising, finely chop the fresh strawberries and mix them thoroughly with the strawberry jam to create a sweet and fruity filling.
- Roll and Fill the Dough: After the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Shape and Slice the Rolls: Starting at one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into even rolls approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking pan lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
- Second Rise and Bake: Allow the rolls to rise again for 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through; the filling should bubble slightly.
- Prepare the Glaze and Serve: While the rolls cool, whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls and serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure an even rise.
- Allow enough time for the dough to rise; slow fermentation yields fluffier rolls.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and texture.
- Seal the dough edges tightly to avoid filling leakage during baking.
- Keep an eye on the oven during baking to prevent burning, especially around the edges.
