How to Make Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
    • Add warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.
    • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a small bowl, combine strawberry jam, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Assemble the Rolls:
    • Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (12×18 inches). Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with diced strawberries.
    • Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Let Rise and Bake:
    • Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
