Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup strawberry puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1. In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast, allowing it to activate for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Gradually add flour to the yeast mixture. Melt some butter in the microwave and mix it in along with an egg and salt until a soft, sticky dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until it doubles in size, approximately one hour.
3. On a floured surface, shape the dough into a rectangle of 9x16 inches. Spread softened butter over the surface. In another bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then evenly sprinkle this mixture over the butter. Roll the dough tightly and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Let them rise in a warm area for about 25 minutes.
6. Remove the foil and bake the rolls until they turn a light golden brown in the center, approximately 15 to 18 minutes.
7. While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
