Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in sugar, salt, eggs, and melted butter into the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12×18 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon for the filling.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border.
- Sprinkle the chopped strawberries over the filling.
- Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long edge.
- Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
- Place slices in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan, cut-side up.
- Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
Notes
- For a richer glaze, use cream cheese instead of milk.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for extra spice.
- Ensure strawberries are finely chopped to distribute evenly.
