Method
 

Make the Brioche Dough
  1. Activate the yeast in a bowl with half of the lukewarm milk and one tablespoon of caster sugar for about 15 minutes, until frothy.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine plain flour, remaining sugar, and fine salt before adding the yeast mixture, room temperature eggs, vanilla extract, and the rest of the milk.
  3. Mix until a dough forms, then gradually incorporate cubed unsalted butter, mixing for 10-15 minutes until the dough is elastic.
Cold Proof the Dough
  1. Cover the brioche dough with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Shape and Fill
  1. Lightly flour your countertop and roll the chilled dough into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Slice the dough into 12 strips and spread a generous amount of strawberry jam over each strip.
  3. Roll each strip into scrolls and place them on a lined baking tray. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
Preheat and Bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) while the rolls are rising.
  2. Once risen, bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Brush and Coat
  1. Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool slightly, then brush with melted unsalted butter.
  2. Mix granulated sugar with freeze-dried strawberry powder and roll each donut in the mixture.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Serve the Strawberry Donut Rolls warm for the best experience.
