Instructions
Creating Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls can be simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the warmed milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter and eggs into the yeast mixture.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
7. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Spread the Filling: Evenly distribute the strawberry mixture over the rolled-out dough.
9. Add Cinnamon: Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the strawberry filling.
10. Roll the Dough: Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
11. Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 12 equal pieces.
12. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a towel, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
13. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
14. Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown.
15. Prepare the Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
16. Glaze the Rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the icing over the top while still warm.
