Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Add sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix in flour gradually and knead the dough for 6–8 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 10×15 inches). Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Distribute chopped strawberries evenly across the surface.
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.

While rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

You can use strawberry jam instead of fresh strawberries for a sweeter, gooier filling.
For a tangier glaze, substitute some of the milk with lemon juice.
