Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • small saucepan
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Rolling pin
  • Cooling Rack
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 1 cup whole milk *warm, about 95°F (35°C)
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoon active dry yeast (2 standard size packets)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4.5 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)

Filling

  • 1.75 cups finely chopped strawberries *fresh or frozen
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoon cornstarch

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar sifted
  • 2-3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

Dough Preparation

  • Warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm. Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a stand mixer and stir in the sugar and yeast. Cover and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • Beat in the softened butter until slightly broken up, then add eggs one at a time, followed by the salt.
  • Gradually add the flour and beat on medium speed until a soft dough forms, about 4 minutes.
  • Increase speed to medium-high and beat until the dough is soft and supple, about 6 minutes.
  • Knead the dough in the mixer or by hand for an additional 5 minutes until it passes the windowpane test.
  • Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

Filling and Rolling

  • Warm the strawberries over medium heat for 4 minutes, then add sugar and cornstarch, stirring for another 2 minutes until thick.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and roll the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  • Spread the strawberry filling over the dough, roll it tightly, and cut into 12 equal rolls.
  • Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking pan and allow to rise in a warm environment until puffy, about 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let rolls cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

Glazing

  • Whisk lemon juice and confectioners’ sugar together until smooth. Pour over warm rolls and serve.
