Description
Soft and fluffy matcha-infused sweet rolls swirled with fresh strawberry filling and topped with a creamy espresso latte glaze for a bakery-style treat at home.
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 tablespoon matcha powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, finely chopped
1/3 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk (plus more as needed)
1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine warm milk and yeast in a small bowl and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, matcha powder, and salt.
- Add melted butter, egg, and activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by cooking strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Cool completely.
- Roll risen dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread cooled filling evenly over the surface.
- Roll tightly from the long edge into a log and slice into 9–12 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 22–28 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, espresso powder, and vanilla extract to make glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
Thaw and drain frozen strawberries well before using.
For stronger matcha flavor, add an extra teaspoon of matcha powder.
Heavy cream can replace milk in the glaze for a richer finish.
Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Freeze baked, unglazed rolls for up to 2 months.
