  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk

Method
 

Activate the Yeast:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Prepare the Dough:
  1. Add melted butter, egg, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough for about 8 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer using a dough hook.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Make the Filling:
  1. In a bowl, mix chopped strawberries, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Soften the butter for easy spreading.
Roll Out the Dough:
  1. Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a 12x18-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
Assemble the Rolls:
  1. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough.
  2. Sprinkle the strawberry mixture on top, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll and Slice:
  1. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  2. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Proof the Rolls:
  1. Arrange the rolls cut-side up in a greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Make the Glaze:
  1. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
Glaze and Serve:
