👩🏽‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make Dough

   
   

    No need to proof instant yeast separately!

   
   

   In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together warm milk, sugar, yeast, eggs, and melted butter. Add flour and salt. Mix and knead 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth, stretchy, and only slightly sticky.

   
   

2. Make Filling

   
   

    In a small pot over medium heat, cook strawberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla until thickened (5–7 minutes). Let cool completely before spreading.

   
   

3. Roll & Fill

   
   

    Roll dough into a 16”x20” rectangle. (Optional: spread a thin layer of softened butter.) Spread cooled strawberry mixture evenly, leaving a ½” border.

   
   

4. Roll & Cut

   
   

    Roll up from the long edge. Cut into

   pieces. Roll into swirls. Place into desired baking dish.

   
   

5. Second Rise

   
   

    Cover and rise again for 30–45 minutes. Then pour heavy whipping cream over them.

   
   

6. Bake

   
   
   
   

    Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes or until golden and puffy.
