Instructions
- Make 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 in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix strawberry jam, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Roll and Fill:
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the surface and 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.
- Rise and Bake:
- Cover and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Glaze and Serve:
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve immediately.
