Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk (warmed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (chopped)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and the foamy yeast mixture; stir until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter in a bowl; chop strawberries.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread with cinnamon mixture, and sprinkle chopped strawberries evenly.
- Roll tightly from one edge, slice into even pieces (about 12), and arrange them cut-side-up in a greased baking dish.
- Cover again and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze before serving.
