Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour: 250 grams
- Warm milk: 120 milliliters
- Sugar: 40 grams
- Dry yeast: 4 grams
- One whole egg
- A pinch of salt
- Butter, softened: 40 grams
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Strawberry jam for filling
- Additional softened butter for brushing
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Preparation Steps:
- Begin by activating the yeast in a large mixing bowl with the warm milk. Incorporate the sugar, egg, salt, butter, and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly. Gradually add in the flour, mixing until a tacky dough forms. Cover this with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1 hour, allowing it to double in size.
- Once risen, transfer the dough to a surface dusted with flour. Give it a quick knead until it’s smooth, then let it rest under cover for 10 minutes.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangular shape. Slice this into approximately 12 strips. Smear a generous amount of strawberry jam over each strip, then roll them up into tight spirals.
- Arrange these rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart to allow for expansion. Cover and set aside for another 45 minutes.
- Heat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 20 minutes until they turn a lovely golden hue.
- Brush the freshly baked rolls with softened butter and then let them cool slightly before dusting with a generous amount of powdered sugar.
Enjoy these delightful Strawberry Sweet Rolls, a perfect treat that pairs the joy of baking with the sweet charm of strawberries!
