Cinnamon Rolls with Strawberries

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Rolls with Strawberries.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious journey, grab your stand mixer and combine warm water, white sugar, and instant yeast in the bowl.

2. Step 2

   Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes foamy—this is a sign that your yeast is happily waking up and ready to work its magic.

3. Step 3

   Next, gradually add all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture.

4. Step 4

   In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt some butter and then pour it into the flour mixture.

5. Step 5

   Crack in an egg and sprinkle in some salt, mixing everything together until you have a soft, sticky dough that feels just right.

6. Step 6

   Now it’s time to give your dough a little rest.

7. Step 7

   Transfer it to a lightly floured surface, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise until it doubles in size—this should take around an hour.

8. Step 8

   While you wait, you can daydream about the sweet rolls you’re about to create! Once your dough has risen beautifully, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle that measures about 9x16 inches.

9. Step 9

   Brush melted butter generously over the surface, then mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

10. Step 10

    Sprinkle this delightful mixture evenly over the buttered dough, filling your kitchen with a heavenly aroma.

    Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 equal pieces, each one a promise of sweetness.

12. Step 12

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

13. Step 13

    Place the cut rolls in the dish, cover them gently with foil, and let them rise in a warm spot for about 25 minutes.

14. Step 14

    This is the perfect time to set the table or prepare your favorite coffee! After the rolls have risen, uncover them and pop them into the preheated oven.

15. Step 15

    Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the centers are lightly golden brown and your kitchen smells irresistible.

16. Step 16

    While the rolls cool slightly, let’s whip up a simple glaze.

17. Step 17

    In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

    Beat this mixture until it’s smooth and creamy, then spread it generously over the warm rolls.
