Strawberry Sweet Rolls Recipe
These soft, sweet rolls filled with juicy strawberries and chocolate are our idea of a fantastic breakfast. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy!
- 3/4 pound (300g) strawberries
- 1/2 cup (100g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 4/5 cup (200ml) milk
- 5 cups (500g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (60g) granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoon vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3/4 tablespoon (7g) active-dry yeast
- 1 medium egg
- 1/2 pound (200g) chocolate (dark or milk)
- 2 tablespoons (30g) heavy cream (optional)
- 3/4 cup (100g) icing sugar (optional)
- 1 egg yolk for gilding
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, sift flour, sugar and salt. Heat milk, stir in the yeast and set aside for 10 minutes. Make a well in the flour and pour in the milk and the whole egg. Start kneading to obtain a smooth paste, then gradually add half the butter, cut into cubes. Knead for about ten minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise 1 hour—the dough should double in volume.
- Gently wash strawberries, pat them dry and cut into pieces. Coarsely chop the chocolate. Knead the dough to get rid of air bubbles, then spread over a floured surface to form a rectangle about 10 x 20-inch (30 x 50 cm). Brush remaining butter over the entire surface, then sprinkle with strawberries and crushed chocolate. Sprinkle vanilla sugar then roll the dough. Cut rolls about 2 1/2 inch thick and arrange on a buttered pan. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Brush with an egg yolk mixed with few drops of milk. Bake in a preheated oven at 430°F (220°c) for 20 minutes. Meanwhile combine heavy cream with the icing sugar and pour over the cake right off the oven. Allow to cool for a while cool before serving!
