Ingredients
For the Brioche Dough:
- 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 45°C)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Let rise for 1-1.5 hours.
- Roll dough into a 14×9-inch rectangle, spread with cinnamon filling, and top with chopped strawberries.
- Roll up the dough and slice into 12 pieces. Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla for the glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve.
Notes
- For a richer glaze, try adding a cream cheese glaze instead of powdered sugar glaze.
- Be sure to drain the strawberries well before adding them to the filling to prevent sogginess.
