Ingredients

This section reviews the best ingredients and substitutions for this recipe. For an exact list of ingredients and quantities, check the recipe card below.

  • Strawberries - Use fresh strawberries for this recipe. Chop into small pieces.

  • Milk - The milk makes a lovely soft dough. Use whole milk or 2% milk.

Recipe tips

  • The sugar sprinkled on the strawberries is optional, depending on how sweet your berries are. Do not sprinkle the sugar on before being ready to roll up the dough because the berries will begin releasing their juices.
  • Once your dough is topped with the filling, roll up right away
  • Slice off one end of the jelly roll and discard. Then begin slicing into 2 inch pieces using a sharp chef's knife.
  • Place sweet rolls in pan as soon as each piece is sliced. They are filled with berries and can become a bit messy.
  • Drizzle icing over rolls while still warm

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • ½ cup milk (warmed)
  • 2¼ teaspoons yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup butter (salted butter, melted)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2½ - 3 cups flour

Filling

  • ½ cup strawberry jam
  • 1½ cups strawberries (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoons sugar

Glaze

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

Dough

  • Place milk, yeast and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir and then let rest for 5 minutes until bubbly.
    ½ cup milk, 2¼ teaspoons yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Stir in eggs, melted butter and 1 cup of flour
    2 eggs, ¼ cup butter, 2½ - 3 cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Continue adding flour until dough comes together and forms a ball. Knead at a low speed with dough hook for about 5 minutes until dough is soft and pliable. You might need to add a bit more flour if the dough loses its shape.
  • Form dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased container. Cover and let rise for about 1 ½ hours until it has doubled in size.
  • Gently deflate dough and roll into a rectangle about 10 x 14 inches in size

Filling

    ½ cup strawberry jam
  • Sprinkle with sliced strawberries and lightly sprinkle with sugar
    1½ cups strawberries, 1 tablespoons sugar
  • Roll up jelly roll style along the long side. Once rolled, pinch the edge to the roll to hold its shape. Pinch each end to seal the roll.
  • Cut roll into 2 inch pieces and place in a greased baking dish. I used a large 9 inch deep dish pie plate. You can also use a 8 x 11 casserole dish.
  • Cover and let rise for about 30-45 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 375°F and then bake roll for 20-25 minutes until the dough is baked through
  • Place baking dish on a cooling rack and keep rolls in the dish

Icing

  • When rolls are still just slightly warm, make the icing. Combine powdered sugar, vanilla and milk together in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
    ¾ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • Pour over the top of the sweet rolls
  • Serve while still warm or at room temperature

Notes

  • The sugar sprinkled on the strawberries is optional, depending on how sweet your berries are. Do not sprinkle the sugar on before being ready to roll up the dough because the berries will begin releasing their juices.
  • Once your dough is topped with the filling, roll up right away
  • Slice off one end of the jelly roll and discard. Then begin slicing into 2 inch pieces using a sharp chef's knife.
  • Place sweet rolls in pan as soon as each piece is sliced. They are filled with berries and can become a bit messy.
