Strawberry Rolls
Strawberry rolls are the perfect way to start your morning. Pillowy soft dough, filled with homemade strawberry jam, then drizzled with a tangy lemon cream cheese icing that seeps into every crevice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Whole milk, warmed, 105°-110°
- 2 1/4 tsp Active dry yeast
- 1/4 tsp Sugar, to activate the yeast
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
- 4 cups All purpose flour, spooned and leveled. If too sticky add a couple extra tablespoons at a time
- 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together warm milk, yeast and 1/4 tsp sugar. Let stand until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
- In a bowl of stand mixer, add eggs, melted butter and yeast mixture.
- Next, add the flour, sugar and salt to the wet ingredients. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until dough begins to form. Then, increase speed to medium and knead for 5 minutes.
- As the dough is kneading, spray a large bowl with nonstick spray. Place the dough inside the bowl. Then, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook until the mixture begins to simmer. Use a potato masher to help mash the berries as they cook.
- Stir together water and cornstarch to create slurry. Pour into the strawberries and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is very thick. Refrigerate until completely cool.
- Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll dough into a 14×18 rectangle, about ¼" thick. Make sure the long side (18-inch) is closest to you.
- Using an offset spatula, spread an even layer of jam all the way to the edges of the dough.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into 12 (1 1/2-inch) strips. Then, take each strip and roll away from you. Carefully place rolls into a lightly greased 9×13 pan.
- Loosely cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- In a bowl, add cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and lemon zest. Using a hand held mixer, beat until smooth. Stir in milk and mix until combined.
- Then, spoon onto warm rolls and spread with an offset spatula.
Notes
Notes Properly measure your flour. Never use a measuring cup to scoop your flour. Instead, fluff your flour with a spoon and then spoon the flour into your measuring cup. Use the back of a knife to scrape off the excess.
