Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • 9x12x3 pan
  • dough hook attachment
  • nonstick spray

Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 2 ¼ 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 2-inch head of foam should appear on the top.
  • 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 the flour is absorbed and a dough begins to form, about 2 minutes.
  • Turn up mixer to medium high and mix for 7-8 minutes. A taut ball should form and the sides and bottom of the bowl should be empty.
  • Remove dough from the mixer, shape into a ball, then place into a glass or metal bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Cover and leave in a warm spot for 1 hour.
  • Prepare a 9x12x3 pan by spraying the bottom and sides with nonstick baking spray.
  • Once your dough has doubled in size, chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Roll dough into a 14×17 inch rectangle on a lightly floured work counter.

For the Filling

  • Spread the strawberry jam over the dough evenly. Evenly arrange the strawberries over the jam and sprinkle with the cinnamon.
  • Starting from the top, quickly roll your dough into a log, careful to keep it even as you roll.
  • Trim ½ inch dough from both edges and cut log into 9 even pieces, placing cut side up in prepared pan.
  • Cover the pan and place in a warm spot to rise for 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes.

For the Topping

  • While the rolls cool, whisk together melted butter, confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
  • Spread icing generously over the cooled cinnamon rolls, top each with sliced berries and serve.
