In the quaint town of Berryville, where the scent of blooming strawberries filled the air, there was a beloved bakery named “Sweet Whisk.” This bakery, known for its innovative and delectable treats, was the pride of the town.

The owner, Ella, had a passion for blending traditional recipes with fresh, local flavors. It was her creativity and love for baking that led to the creation of a pastry that would soon become a town treasure: Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls.

The story of the Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls began on a bright spring morning. The local strawberry festival was just around the corner, and Ella wanted to craft a special treat that would capture the essence of the festival.

Inspired by the classic cinnamon roll, she envisioned a pastry that would marry the traditional, comforting spice of cinnamon with the sweet, tangy freshness of local strawberries.

Ella set to work, experimenting with various recipes until she found the perfect balance. She crafted a dough that was soft and tender, a filling rich with chopped strawberries and a hint of cinnamon, and an icing that was a pure strawberry delight. When she pulled the first batch from the oven, the bakery filled with an aroma so enchanting that it drew people in from the streets.

The Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls were an instant success at the festival. The combination of the fluffy dough, the sweet and slightly spiced strawberry filling, and the vibrant, creamy strawberry icing was unlike anything the townsfolk had ever tasted. It was a celebration of spring, a tribute to the local strawberries, and a testament to Ella’s baking prowess.

Word of Ella’s creation spread beyond Berryville, drawing visitors from neighboring towns, all eager to taste the Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls. They became a symbol of the bakery’s commitment to quality and innovation, a treat that people looked forward to as the strawberry season approached.

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Strawberry Filling

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Strawberry Icing

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
• 1 tablespoon cream or milk (adjust for desired consistency)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk in a large bowl. Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, salt, and gradually mix in the flour to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic.
2. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. For the filling, mix chopped strawberries, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Roll out dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the dough.
5. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal slices. Place slices in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise again until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. For the icing, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, cream (or milk), and vanilla until smooth. Adjust consistency with more cream or powdered sugar if needed.
8. Drizzle icing over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

Ensure strawberries for the filling are patted dry to remove excess moisture.

Let the rolls cool slightly before adding the icing to prevent it from melting away.

For a more intense strawberry flavor in the icing, you can add a drop or two of strawberry extract.
