Fresh strawberry rolls are a soft, fluffy twist on classic cinnamon rolls, filled with a sweet, homemade strawberry filling. Perfect for spring brunches or a fruity breakfast treat.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1–2 tbsp granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk until just lukewarm. Mix it with granulated sugar and yeast, and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add in the egg, melted butter, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5–7 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.
  5. While the dough rises, cook the chopped strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan until thickened. Let cool completely.
  6. Roll the risen dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
  7. Spread the cooled strawberry filling evenly over the dough.
  8. Roll the dough into a tight log and slice into 9–12 even rolls.
  9. Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  11. Let the rolls cool slightly. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the warm rolls if desired.

Notes

  • Add cream cheese to the glaze for a tangy twist.
  • Mix in strawberry jam with the filling for extra flavor.
  • Use whole wheat flour for a heartier version.
  • Top with sliced almonds or freeze-dried strawberries for texture.
  • Substitute plant-based milk, vegan butter, and a flax egg for a vegan version.
