THRIVE Strawberry Sweet Rolls

These strawberry sweet rolls were great, but I think I overcooked them just a bit.  I got the recipe (and converted it to THRIVE) from My McDonald Meal  I made them the night before and we warmed them up for breakfast the next day.  I enjoy having something a bit different (and really tasty) for breakfast every now & then.

• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup THRIVE instant milk powder
• 1/3 cup THRIVE butter powder
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 1/4 tsp Active dry yeast
• 2 cups Whole white wheat flour (I ground mine from the THRIVE whole hard white winter wheat)
• 2 cups All purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking soda
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 3 cups THRIVE freeze dried strawberries, hydrated in water and drained (it took about 10 minutes to hydrate them in lukewarm water)

Glaze

• 1/4 cup THRIVE butter powder
• 3/4 cup Powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup THRIVE instant milk powder
• Water

Mix water, THRIVE instant milk, THRIVE butter powder, and sugar in large pot.  Allow to come to a boil and then quickly remove from heat to avoid scalding.  Cool for 20 minutes and add yeast.  Add 3 1/2 cups flour 3/4 -1 cup at a time.  Dough should be sticky.  Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour.

Stir in last 1/2 cup flour,  baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Knead dough on lightly floured surface for one minute.  Pinch off small pieces (about golf ball size), flatten and add small amount of hydrated strawberries to center.  Fold roll over strawberries and pinch together.  Place in a greased 8 or 9 in round cake pan and repeat until pan is full.  Let rise for another 30 minutes

Preheat over to 375.  Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

Let cool, then mix glaze ingredients by adding just enough water to get a slightly runny consistency.  Poor over rolls (I took the pictures before I made the glaze..oops)
