Best Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

STRAWBERRY CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine water, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Allow yeast to bloom until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Gradually add flour to the yeast mixture. Heat butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted; add to the flour mixture. Add egg and salt. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to the counter and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Roll dough out to a 9x16-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread butter on top. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over butter. Roll up dough tightly. Cut into 12 pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place rolls in the baking dish. Gently cover with a piece of foil. Allow rolls to rise in a warm area, about 25 minutes.
• Uncover rolls and bake in the preheated oven until centers are lightly golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• While rolls are cooling slightly, prepare the glaze. Combine powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and salt; beat by hand or with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread over the tops of the rolls.

STRAWBERRY-FILLED CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix warm water and yeast for rolls together in a small bowl until dissolved. Let sit until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine butter, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add hot water and whisk until butter is melted. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then mix in egg. Mix in yeast mixture, followed by 2 cups flour, mixing on high speed with the whisk attachment. Change to the dough hook attachment, add remaining flour, and mix until a nice ball of dough forms.
• Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
• Mix melted butter and jam for filling together in a small bowl. Spread evenly over dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough and pinch edges to seal. Cut into 12 equal rolls and place on a cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and firm to the touch when pressed gently in the center, about 20 minutes.
• While the rolls are baking, combine softened butter, milk, jam, and vanilla extract for frosting in a large bowl; beat until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Add frosting with a pastry brush to warm cinnamon rolls.
