Description

Delicious homemade strawberry rolls with a soft, fluffy dough filled with sweet strawberry jam and fresh strawberries, topped with a smooth vanilla icing. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, these rolls offer a delightful balance of fruity sweetness and tender baked goodness.

Ingredients

Dough

  • ½ cup milk (warmed)
  • 2¼ teaspoons yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup salted butter (melted)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2½ – 3 cups flour

Filling

  • ½ cup strawberry jam
  • 1½ cups strawberries (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Icing

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast: Place the warmed milk, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir gently and let it rest for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly, indicating the yeast is activated.
  2. Mix dough: Add eggs, melted butter, and 1 cup of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. Add remaining flour and knead: Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough starts to come together into a ball. Using the dough hook attachment, knead at low speed for about 5 minutes until the dough is soft and pliable. Add small amounts of flour if the dough becomes too sticky or loses shape.
  4. First rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased container. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1½ hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Shape dough: Gently deflate the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 10 by 14 inches.
  6. Add filling: Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the dough, leaving about ¼ inch from the edges uncovered. Sprinkle the chopped strawberries and 1 tablespoon sugar evenly on top.
  7. Form rolls: Starting from the long side, roll the dough jelly-roll style. Pinch the edge to seal the roll and pinch each end to prevent it from unrolling.
  8. Cut rolls: Cut the roll into 2-inch pieces and place them cut-side up in a greased baking dish, such as a 9-inch deep pie plate or an 8 by 11 inch casserole dish.
  9. Second rise: Cover the baking dish and let the rolls rise for 30 to 45 minutes until puffed.
  10. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dough is fully cooked and golden brown on top.
  11. Cool slightly: Place the baking dish on a cooling rack and allow the rolls to cool just until they are slightly warm.
  12. Make icing: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
  13. Glaze rolls: Drizzle the icing over the warm strawberry rolls.
  14. Serve: Enjoy the rolls warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better dough consistency.
  • If dough is sticky, add flour gradually but avoid over-flouring to keep rolls tender.
  • You can substitute frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess moisture first.
  • Adjust sugar in the filling to taste depending on the sweetness of your strawberries and jam.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
