  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (one standard packet)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)

Strawberry Powder

  • 0.8 ounces freeze-dried strawberries

Filling

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.6 ounces strawberry powder (about 7 teaspoons)

Icing

  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 0.2 ounces strawberry powder (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking dish: Lightly grease a 9x9 inch square baking dish or a 9-10 inch round cake or pie pan and set aside.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Warm milk and butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk and butter in 20-second increments until the butter melts and the mixture is warm to the touch (~110℉), not hot.
  4. Add yeast: Whisk in the instant yeast until fully dissolved. Pour this yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, add the egg, and stir with a sturdy wooden spoon until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  5. Knead dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead with floured hands for 3 to 5 minutes until the dough is smooth but not sticky.
  6. First rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover lightly, and let it rise for 10 minutes.
  7. Prepare strawberry powder: Pulse freeze-dried strawberries in a blender or food processor until finely ground. Divide the powder into two portions: 0.6 ounces (about 7 teaspoons) and 0.2 ounces (about 2 teaspoons), set aside.
  8. Roll out dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 14x9 inch rectangle.
  9. Spread filling: Evenly spread room temperature butter across the dough. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and 0.6 ounces of strawberry powder, then sprinkle evenly over the butter. Gently pat to adhere.
  10. Form rolls: Starting from the long 14-inch side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Using a serrated knife, cut into 9 even rolls and place them in the prepared baking dish.
  11. Second rise: Lightly cover the rolls and let them rise at room temperature for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  12. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350℉ (175℃).
  13. Bake rolls: Place the baking dish into the oven and bake uncovered for 26-32 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 195-200℉. If browning too fast, tent with foil.
  14. Prepare icing: While rolls bake, whisk together confectioner's sugar, 0.2 ounces strawberry powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  15. Glaze and serve: Spread the icing over warm rolls using a knife and serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure milk and butter mixture is warm but not hot to activate yeast properly.
  • Knead just until smooth to avoid tough rolls.
  • The second rise is crucial for fluffy, soft rolls—don’t skip or rush this step.
  • If rolls brown too quickly during baking, tent with foil to prevent burning.
  • Serve rolls warm to enjoy the soft texture and fresh strawberry flavor.
