Directions for This Recipe

The following steps require a little kitchen choreography to achieve the final result. Follow each step in order, and watch the magic unfold!

1. Prepare the Dough

• Combine the yeast, milk, sugar and vanilla, and allow it to sit for 2-5 minutes for the yeast to work and the mixture to get bubbly. Add 2 cups of flour. Then mix in the salt and egg.
• While mixing, add the remaining flour, one cup at a time. Keep adding until the dough starts to pull away from the sides.
• Add the softened butter and knead the dough until it is fully developed.
• Cover and set aside in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

2. Make the Strawberry Jam

• Combine the strawberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a simmer, mashing as it cooks.
• Combine water and cornstarch into a slurry then stir into the strawberries.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, then set aside to cool.

3. Bake the Cinnamon Rolls

• Roll the dough into a rectangle and cover it with jam. Reserve ½ a cup of jam for later.
• Roll the dough into a log and cut into 12 equal-sized rolls.
• Place in a baking dish and spoon on the remaining jam.
• Set aside in a warm area until the rolls have doubled in size, about an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake for 30 minutes and set aside to cool before frosting.

4. Add the Frosting and Cinnamon Pecans

• Cream together the butter and cream cheese.
• Mix in the sugar, vanilla extract and heavy cream.
• Spread over the cooled Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls.
• Sprinkle the roasted cinnamon pecans on top.
