Instructions

1. Make the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes) until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Filling

  1. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Roll out the dough into a 14×9-inch rectangle.
  3. Spread softened butter over the dough, then evenly spread the strawberry preserves.
  4. Sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture and diced fresh strawberries.

3. Roll and Cut

  1. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side and pinch the seam to seal.
  2. Slice into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

4. Bake the Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes.

5. Make the Glaze & Serve

  1. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Drizzle over warm rolls and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
