Instructions
Creating these delicious Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls is a delightful process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2. Heat the Liquids: In a saucepan, heat the milk, water, and butter until warm (not hot). Remove from heat.
3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and mix until combined.
4. Knead the Dough: Gradually add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
7. Roll out the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
8. Spread the Filling: Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top. Add the diced strawberries.
9. Roll it Up: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
10. Cut the Rolls: Slice the roll into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish, cut side up.
11. Second Rise: Cover and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
14. Glaze (Optional): If desired, mix powdered sugar with a bit of milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the rolls before serving.
By following these steps carefully, you will create an incredible batch of Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls that everyone will love.
