Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup warm water (105 degrees F (41 degrees C))
¼ cup white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
½ stick butter, at room temperature
⅔ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup pureed fresh strawberries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Combine water, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Allow yeast to bloom until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Gradually add flour to the yeast mixture. Heat butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted; add to the flour mixture. Add egg and salt. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to the counter and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Roll dough out to a 9x16-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread butter on top. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over butter. Roll up dough tightly. Cut into 12 pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place rolls in the baking dish. Gently cover with a piece of foil. Allow rolls to rise in a warm area, about 25 minutes.
  • Uncover rolls and bake in the preheated oven until centers are lightly golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • While rolls are cooling slightly, prepare the glaze. Combine powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and salt; beat by hand or with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread over the tops of the rolls.

Time 1h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup warm water
2 tablespoons yeast
¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, cubed
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water
1 large egg, at room temperature
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup strawberry jam
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup milk
¼ cup strawberry jam
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Mix warm water and yeast for rolls together in a small bowl until dissolved. Let sit until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine butter, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add hot water and whisk until butter is melted. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then mix in egg. Mix in yeast mixture, followed by 2 cups flour, mixing on high speed with the whisk attachment. Change to the dough hook attachment, add remaining flour, and mix until a nice ball of dough forms.
  • Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
  • Mix melted butter and jam for filling together in a small bowl. Spread evenly over dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough and pinch edges to seal. Cut into 12 equal rolls and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and firm to the touch when pressed gently in the center, about 20 minutes.
  • While the rolls are baking, combine softened butter, milk, jam, and vanilla extract for frosting in a large bowl; beat until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Add frosting with a pastry brush to warm cinnamon rolls.

Tips:

  • Use fresh strawberries. Fresh strawberries have the best flavor and will produce the most delicious cinnamon rolls.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the cinnamon rolls tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly and produce light and fluffy cinnamon rolls.
  • Don't overfill the cinnamon rolls. If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll up and they may burst open in the oven.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Strawberry cinnamon rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of warm, fluffy, and flavorful cinnamon rolls that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these cinnamon rolls are sure to be a hit.
