Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (one packet)
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar for glazing
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add this mixture to the yeast mixture along with melted butter and egg. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (1/2 inch thick). Spread softened butter over it, sprinkle with sugar mixed with cinnamon and chopped strawberries. Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise for an additional 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze before serving.
