Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Filling and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, diced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (or as needed)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by dissolving it in tepid milk, allowing it to bloom and become frothy. Combine with a mixture of granulated sweetener, liquefied butter, whisked egg, and a pinch of sodium chloride.
- Gradually incorporate flour into the liquid components, mixing until a cohesive, supple dough emerges. Thoroughly knead the dough on a flour-dusted surface until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled container, envelop with a cloth, and permit fermentation in a warm environment until its volume doubles.
- Craft the fruity compote by simmering ripe crimson berries with crystalline sweetener, thickening agent, and citrus essence. Allow the mixture to reduce and cool completely.
- Unfurl the risen dough into a generous rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness. Generously distribute the chilled berry reduction across the surface.
- Meticulously roll the dough from the elongated edge, creating a tightly wound cylindrical form. Segment the log into twelve uniform portions.
- Arrange the segments in a buttered baking vessel, providing adequate space for subsequent expansion. Shield and allow secondary proofing.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Bake until the pastries transform into a golden, appetizing hue.
- Compose a glossy topping by whisking powdered sweetener with dairy liquid and aromatic extract until silky smooth.
- Embellish the warm pastries with the translucent glaze, optionally adorning with festive sprinkles or a delicate dusting of powdered sweetener.
Notes
- Swap standard flour with gluten-free blend for celiac-friendly version, ensuring texture remains soft and tender.
- Use dairy-free milk and vegan butter alternatives to create plant-based strawberry donut rolls without compromising flavor complexity.
- Freeze unbaked rolls after cutting for convenient make-ahead breakfast option, thawing overnight in refrigerator before baking morning of serving.
- Enhance strawberry filling’s depth by adding pinch of cardamom or orange zest, creating subtle sophisticated undertone to classic sweet recipe.
