How To Make Pioneer Woman Strawberry Sweet Rolls

1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, remaining sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Let the dough rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, turn to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
5. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
6. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12×15-inch rectangle.
7. Add filling and roll up: Spread strawberry filling evenly over the dough. Roll tightly from the long side into a log shape.
8. Slice and arrange: Cut into 12 equal rolls. Place in a greased 9×13-inch pan.
9. Second rise: Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
10. Bake the rolls: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Make the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
12. Glaze and serve: Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Serve and enjoy!
