Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, salt, and flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
- While the dough rises, mix chopped strawberries, sugar, and matcha powder in a bowl.
- If using cream cheese, blend it into the mixture for a creamy consistency.
Shaping and Baking
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the strawberry-matcha filling evenly over the dough.
- Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into equal pieces, approximately 1-inch thick.
- Place the cut rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and allow them to rise for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Glazing
- While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and a little matcha until smooth.
- Once the rolls are done, drizzle the glaze over the top and garnish with strawberries before serving.
