Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until thickened.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast. Then, add warm milk, egg, and softened butter.
  3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until soft and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Shape dough into a ball, place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Roll dough into a large rectangle. Spread the chilled strawberry filling, roll tightly, and slice into 12 rolls.
  6. Second Rise: Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish, cover loosely, and let rise for 30-60 minutes.
  7. Bake the Rolls: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden.
