For the Filling:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Steps to Make Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, salt, and eggs. Add the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it’s soft. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped strawberries. Set aside.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with the cinnamon-strawberry mixture.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other. Slice the roll into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bake the Rolls:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the rolls rise for about 20 minutes, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve:
- Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
