👩‍🍳 How to Make Strawberry Matcha Latte Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Mix in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Fillings

In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter, matcha powder, and brown sugar until smooth.

In another bowl, combine the strawberry jam, diced strawberries, cornstarch, and sugar.

Step 3: Roll and Fill

Roll the dough into a large rectangle about 12×18 inches.

Spread the matcha butter evenly over the dough, then spoon the strawberry filling on top in an even layer.

Step 4: Roll and Slice

Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.

Slice into 12 equal rolls using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss.

Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Cover and let them rise for another 30–45 minutes.

Step 5: Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls for 22–26 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through.

Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 6: Make the Frosting

Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.

Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, then mix until light and fluffy.

Spread generously over the warm rolls.

Step 7: Garnish

Top with fresh strawberries, a light dusting of matcha powder, freeze-dried strawberry crumbs, or white chocolate shavings.

Serve warm and enjoy!
