  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar (100g)
  • 4 1/2 Tsp (or two packets) instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 Cups Water (300g)
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted butter, sliced into tablespoons (110g)
  • 1 Tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Large Egg + 1 egg white
  • Cornstarch, for dusting
  • Pink Food Coloring
    • Strawberry Filling
  • 2 Cups Frozen or fresh strawberries
  • 3 Tbsp Brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 TSP Cinnamon ((3g))
  • 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
    • Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 1 1/2 Cups Sliced freeze-dried strawberries, about (1 ounce)

  • 8 Oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 3 Cups Powdered sugar
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
Preparation
  1. 1
    1. Using a stand mixer bowl add in the bread our mix, sugar, instant yeast, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until evenly combined.
    2. In a heat safe measuring glass, add the water, butter, and vinegar. Microwave for 1-2 minutes or until it’s warm. (Between 100°-110°)
    3. Attach the dough hook to the mixer and dial up to a medium speed, slowly pour in the warm mixture.
    4. Once it’s nearly mixed, add in the egg and egg white.
    5. Turn the mixer on medium-high speed and mix for a good 5 minutes to create a smooth and slightly stretchy dough.
    6. After those 5 minutes, allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. In the meantime, lay down a sheet of plastic wrap over your counter top and liberally dust in cornstarch. The dough will be rolled out into a 13×19″ rectangle so make sure to cover enough of the surface for this size.
    7. After 10 minutes, scoop out and the dough in the center of the bed of cornstarch or GF our. Dust the top of the dough with some more cornstarch, fold once, then and begin to press the dough down into a rectangle.
    8. Use a rolling pin to roll into our 13×19″ rectangle.
    9. Spread the strawberry mixture onto the dough but leave a 1” margin on the end furthest away from you because once you start to roll the mixture will go to the edge of the dough on its own.
    10. Begin rolling the dough into itself and try to get it as tight as possible. This will take a combination of rolling and utilizing the plastic wrap to get it rolled tightly.
    11. Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature possible (or 170°). Once it’s preheated, turn the oven off and place the rolls inside. Allow the rolls to rise in the warm oven for 45 minutes – 1 hour.
    12. After the hour is up and the rolls have doubled in size, remove them from the oven and preheat to 350F.
    13. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. You can also test by poking the rolls with your nger. They’re done when they have a soft spring to them.
    14. Pulse the freeze dried strawberries in the food processor. Set aside.
    15. Place cream cheese and butter into a bowl and whisk using a hand mixer or stand mixer for about 5 minutes.
    16. Add in powdered sugar and mix on a low speed until the sugar has dissolved.
    17. Add in the freeze dried strawberries and vanilla extract.
    18. Whisk for 3-5 minutes until it has a whipped consistency.
    19. Spread onto the cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
Note

Make sure that you are using rapid rise instant yeast and not active yeast (slow rise). This will make your cinnamon roll dough to sticky to roll.

Use plastic wrap to help shape and roll the cinnamon rolls. You can use just your hand but this will be a tough dough to roll due to its stickiness.

Feel free to dust off any excess cornstarch from the rolls using a bating brush or a silicone brush that you have available.
