Strawberry Jellyroll Bread ⋆ Biscuits to Brownies

Strawberry jam is maybe my favorite flavor of jelly/jam. Hmmmm, maybe my second favorite behind blueberry. There is so much you can do with this in baking. In addition to, another favorite of mine is the jelly roll. It’s such a simple and delicious dessert. This fun bread combines the idea of the jelly roll into a “cinnamon like roll” bread for a yumstastic Strawberry Jellyroll Bread.

Instead of making individual strawberry rolls, I combined them all into one bread loaf for a fun slice and eat bread.

Strawberry Jellyroll Bread is perfect for breakfast or alongside your dinner for a slightly sweet accompaniment. For dinners growing up, we always had bread with our meals and this would of been a great addition.

Love the effect when the bread is sliced and you can see layers of strawberry jam inside. Yum!

The Recipe

The recipe is a simple sweet roll dough, enriched with butter that can be refrigerated overnight. Furthermore, it makes is super easy to put together without having to wait for the dough to rise. With that, makes the dough ready to roll and fill.

Strawberry Jam or Jelly

Homemade jam would work wonderfully here. Although, I use my favorite smuckers low sugar strawberry jam.

Making the Jellyrolls

After a stint in the refrigerator overnight, the dough is set out at room temperature to allow to warm up slightly. Afterwards, it gets a little punch down and then rolled out similar to making cinnamon rolls.

Jam is then spread in thin layer across the dough leaving about 1/2″ border on all sides. Thin is the key here, too much jam and it will come out during the rolling process.

Roll, roll, roll, the dough goes starting with the long end. Similar, this is the same process just like making cinnamon rolls. Next, its placed in the refrigerator about an hour to firm up for easy cutting.

After a short stint in the fridge, the dough gets cut into 1″ rolls. Also, I like to use a serrated knife for easy cutting.

Forming the Jellyroll Bread

Now, we are ready to create the loaf. Baking tools used here is a simple loaf pan is all you need. The pan gets greased well and then the rolls are placed inside.

First, I line the perimeter of the pan with the rolls, about 3 on the long sides and 1 on the short edges.

Second, I place rolls down the center, then repeat the center with more rolls.
