Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Dough:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (warm, around 110ยฐF)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 large egg

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (adjust as needed for consistency)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until well combined. Gradually add the remaining flour, ยฝ cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough:
    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  3. Roll and Fill:
    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle (about 12×9 inches). Brush the surface with melted butter and evenly spread the strawberry jam on top.
  4. Shape the Rolls:
    Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 8-10 even pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, cut side up.
  5. Second Rise:
    Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
  6. Bake:
    Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Make the Glaze:
    While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
  8. Glaze the Rolls:
    Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add fresh strawberry slices on top of the jam before rolling up the dough.
  • You can also make these rolls with other fruit jams like raspberry or blueberry for variation.
  • To make the dough rise faster, place it in a slightly warm oven (turned off) with the oven light on.
