Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • 9x12x3 Pan
  • bowl
  • Kitchen Towel
  • Plastic Wrap

Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 2.25 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • ½ cup granulated sugar plus 1 tsp
  • ¼ cup warm water about 115F
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup whole milk room temperature
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature

For the Filling

  • cup strawberry jam
  • 1 cup strawberries fresh and chopped in small bits
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Topping

  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 4-6 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

For the Dough

  • In a small bowl, combine active dry yeast and sugar. Stir in warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes and a 2-inch head of foam should appear on the top.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add 2 cups flour, sugar, salt. Mix on low for 30 seconds until evenly combined.
  • Add in milk, melted butter, yeast mixture, and eggs, and mix on low until ingredients start to come together, about 1 minute.
  • Add in remaining 2 cups flour and mix on medium until all flour is absorbed and a dough begins to form, about 2 minutes.
  • Turn up mixer to medium high and mix for 7-8 minutes until a taut ball forms and the bowl is empty.
  • Remove dough, shape into a ball, and place in a sprayed bowl. Cover with a towel and leave to rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  • Prepare the pan by spraying the bottom and sides with nonstick baking spray.
  • Once doubled in size, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Roll dough into a 14×17 inch rectangle on a floured surface.

For the Filling

  • Spread the strawberry jam over the dough evenly. Arrange the strawberries and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Roll the dough from the top into a log and pinch the edge to seal it.
  • Trim edges and cut the log into 9 pieces, placing cut side up in the prepared pan.
  • Cover the pan and let rise for 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Bake until golden brown for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes.

For the Topping

  • Whisk together melted butter, confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
  • Spread icing over cooled cinnamon rolls and top with sliced berries.

Notes

Cinnamon Rolls can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days, in the fridge for up to 7 days, or frozen for 3-4 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
