Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • medium saucepan
  • stand mixer
  • clean dish towel
  • greased mixing bowl
  • sharp knife or unflavored dental floss
  • large baking sheet
  • small bowl

Ingredients

Dough

  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • cup unsalted butter
  • cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs room temperature

Filling

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup strawberry jam or flavor of your choosing

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour and yeast. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk, ⅓ cup butter, sugar, and salt until 120 degrees F. Remove from heat and stir until the butter is melted. Add to the flour and yeast.
  • Mix on low, using a regular paddle, adding the eggs one at a time.
  • Change the mixer attachment to the dough hook. Beat the dough at low, adding the remaining flour a little at a time. Increase speed to medium until a soft dough forms, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat both sides. Cover with a clean dish towel.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 ½ hours.
  • Punch the dough down and turn out onto a floured surface. Cover and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle, approximately 20 inches by 10 inches.
  • Spread an even layer of peanut butter over the dough and then repeat with a layer of jam, leaving a 1-inch space on one long edge without filling.
  • Starting on the long side, roll the dough up, working it tightly but without pulling the dough too much. Seal the long edge by pinching it shut.
  • Cut the dough into 12 even slices by cutting the dough in half, cutting those halves in half and then the quarters into three slices each.
  • Place each roll in a large bar pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, allowing about one inch between them. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place about 40 minutes or until doubled.
  • TIP: Before allowing the final rise, rolls may be tightly covered and placed in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and allow to rise before baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While the rolls bake, combine the ingredients for the icing, stirring until well blended.
  • Remove rolls from the oven and spread with icing.
