Key ingredients
- Strawberries - Use fresh strawberries for this recipe. Chop into small pieces.
- Strawberry Jam - The jam adds extra flavor. I used a seedless strawberry jam, but a regular seeded jam is fine too. Homemade strawberry jam can be used too.
- Flour - Use all-purpose flour
- Yeast - I use active dry yeast
- Butter - This recipe uses melted salted butter
- Milk - The milk makes a lovely soft dough. Use whole milk or 2% milk.
- Eggs - Eggs create a rich dough perfect for rolling into filled rolls
How to make Strawberry Sweet Rolls
- Prepare dough and place in a lightly greased container. Cover and let rise until doubled.
- Deflate dough and roll into a 10 x 14 inch rectangle
- Spread with jam and then top with strawberries and a sprinkling of sugar
- Roll up jelly roll style, pinching the edge to seal and each end to seal
- Slice into 2 inch rounds and place in a lightly greased baking dish
- Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes
- Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 20-25 minutes
- Allow rolls to cool
- While still slightly warm, make the glaze by combining powdered sugar, milk and vanilla
- Pour over rolls and serve
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
