Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups (300 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (7 grams) active dry yeast
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) whole milk (warm)
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter (melted)
Seasoning and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Activate yeast by dissolving it in warm milk with sugar, allowing the mixture to become frothy and bubbly for about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate melted butter and egg into the yeast mixture, stirring until thoroughly blended.
- Sift flour and salt together, then gradually fold into the liquid ingredients, creating a cohesive dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, supple, and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
- Prepare the filling by gently combining diced strawberries with ground cinnamon and granulated sugar.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread softened butter evenly across the dough’s surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute the strawberry-cinnamon mixture uniformly over the buttered dough.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight, compact log.
- Slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, allowing them to rest and rise for an additional 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) during the final rising period.
- Bake the rolls for 22-27 minutes, or until they achieve a golden-brown color and are thoroughly cooked.
Notes
- Ensure milk is warm (not hot) to activate yeast without killing it, maintaining perfect dough texture and rise.
- Chop strawberries finely to prevent large chunks from creating soggy spots in the rolls during baking.
- Use room temperature butter when spreading to create even layer and help strawberry mixture stick smoothly.
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar soft, tender texture.
