Certainly! Strawberry cinnamon rolls are a delicious twist on the classic cinnamon rolls, adding a fruity and sweet flavor to the mix. Here’s a basic recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
For the Filling:
- 1 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, melted butter, sugar, salt, and eggs. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
- Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the dough. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the strawberry jam.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into equal-sized rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, leaving some space between them. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing over the top.
Enjoy your delicious strawberry cinnamon rolls! You can get creative by adding chopped fresh strawberries into the filling or experimenting with different glazes and toppings.
