Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  2. Step 2: 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 with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the chopped strawberries, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Step 4: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Spread the softened butter over the surface of the dough.
  5. Step 5: Evenly sprinkle the strawberry mixture over the buttered dough.
  6. Step 6: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.

  8. Step 8: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
