Ingredients

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 packet active dry yeast

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups strawberry preserves

1/2 cup salted butter, melted

1 lb powdered sugar, sifted

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

1/4 cup finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the milk, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar in a saucepan until warm but not hot. Remove from heat, sprinkle yeast over the top, and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in about 4 cups of flour and the lemon zest until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  3. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup flour with salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Knead into the dough until smooth.
  4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to make it easier to handle.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  6. Roll the chilled dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
  7. Spread the strawberry preserves evenly over the dough and drizzle with melted butter, gently swirling together.
  8. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into even rolls.
  9. Arrange the rolls in the baking dish and let rise for 20 minutes.
  10. Bake for 24–28 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  11. Whisk together powdered sugar, cream or milk, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  12. Drizzle the pink glaze over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

Use dental floss for clean slices.

Freeze rolls unglazed for best results.

Do not overbake to keep rolls soft and fluffy.

Milk can be used instead of cream for a lighter glaze.

Homemade strawberry jam works well if thick.
