Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • 9x12x3 pan
  • dental floss
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 2.25 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup warm water about 115F
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup whole milk room temperature
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature

Filling

  • cup strawberry jam
  • 1 cup strawberries fresh and chopped in small bits
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 4-6 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

Dough

  • In a small bowl, combine active dry yeast and sugar. Stir in warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes and 2-inch head of foam should appear on the top.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add 2 cups flour, sugar, salt. Mix on low for 30 seconds until evenly combined.
  • Add in milk, melted butter, yeast mixture, and eggs, and mix on low until ingredients start to come together, about 1 minute.
  • Add in remaining 2 cups flour and mix on medium until all the flour is absorbed and a dough begins to form, about 2 minutes.
  • Turn up mixer to medium high and mix for 7-8 minutes. A taut ball should form and the sides and bottom of the bowl should be empty.
  • Remove dough from the mixer, shape into a ball, then place into a glass or metal bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and leave in a warm spot for 1 hour.
  • Prepare a 9x12x3 pan by spraying the bottom and sides with nonstick baking spray.
  • Once your dough has doubled in size, chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Roll dough into a 14×17 inch rectangle.

Filling

  • Spread strawberry jam over the dough evenly. Evenly arrange strawberries over the jam and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Quickly roll your dough into a log, careful to keep it even and pinch the bottom edge to seal.
  • Trim ½ inch dough from both edges and cut log into 9 even pieces, placed cut side up in the prepared pan.
  • Cover with clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place in warm spot to rise for 40 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F and bake until golden brown for 25-30 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes.

Topping

  • While rolls cool, whisk together melted butter, confectioners' sugar, 4 tablespoons of milk and vanilla extract.
  • Spread icing over the cooled cinnamon rolls, top each roll with sliced berries and serve.
