These Nutella and Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are an amazingly delicious beginner cinnamon roll recipe, kicked up with the addition of Nutella and juicy strawberries! Homemade cinnamon rolls are easier than you think and when you use Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast – super fast, too!

Cold winter mornings are upon us, and what is better in the morning than a hot cup of coffee and a homemade cinnamon roll stuffed with Nutella and strawberries?


My daughter just loves Nutella, and cinnamon rolls are one of her favorite foods, so I knew that she would love this creation of Nutella and Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls. As she watched me make them, she must have asked 15 times when would they be ready. When they came out of the oven, she eagerly watched them cool and then was so excited when she could finally dig it! And she loved them! No better seal of approval than of a picky 7 year old.

Nutella and Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
I have always been afraid of yeasted recipes and have usually shied away from them, but I knew that with just a little practice and the help of Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast, I could conquer my fears! While store bought cinnamon rolls are good, nothing tastes better than homemade. Make sure to follow the instructions on the package and you will have no trouble at all! The mixing and measuring and kneading is all worth it because it just tastes so much better! And playing with dough is just plain fun! The cinnamon roll recipe here is a great beginner’s recipe. Nothing fancy, no crazy steps!

How to Use Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast

One crucial step that can’t be missed is to make sure that you have heated your butter and water mixture to between 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. Any warmer will kill your yeast!


Also, always check to make sure your yeast has not expired. That often leads to failed recipes!


After a quick knead of about 6 minutes, your dough rests for 10 minutes and then it is time to roll out and fill your rolls!
Easy Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
You can use the traditional cinnamon sugar mixture, but I loved adding the Nutella and strawberries to make these extra special. You could really customize the filling to your liking, though!
Easy Nutella Cinnamon Rolls
I like to use two round pans for my cinnamon rolls, but you can also use a traditional 9 x 13 pan as well. Let the rolls rise, until about double in size. Look at this beautiful risen goodness! Ours took around 50 minutes. Then you are ready to bake to golden brown.

Once baked, the Nutella drizzle magic happens!

Let’s do a close up of that Nutellay goodness, shall we? And that dough! So soft and tender and endlessly fluffy. These homemade cinnamon rolls are so easy, and this dough recipe is a great starter for any cinnamon roll filling that you’d like!

These Nutella and Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are special enough for a holiday morning breakfast or brunch but easy enough for a regular Saturday morning, too!

Nutella and Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

Course Breakfast
Cuisine American
Keyword Nutella and Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes
Servings 12 rolls

Ingredients

  • 4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 4-1/2 tsp. packets Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 egg

FILLING

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons butter OR margarine very soft
  • 1/2 cup nutella
  • 1 cup strawberries chopped

NUTELLA DRIZZLE

  • 1/2 cup nutella
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine 2 cups flour, sugar, dry yeast and salt in a large mixer bowl and stir until blended. Place water and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120° to 130°F. Butter won’t melt completely). Add to flour mixture with egg.
  2. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in just enough remaining flour so that the dough will form into a ball.
  3. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic and dough springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover with a towel; let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. For filling, combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
  5. Roll dough into a 15 x 10-inch rectangle using a rolling pin. Spread 3 tablespoons butter over dough stopping at least 1/2-inch from the edges on the long sides. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Beginning at long end of the rectangle, roll up tightly. Pinch seams to seal. Cut into 12 equal pieces. TIP: Use unflavored dental floss instead of a knife to cut rolls. To do, cut a piece of floss about 12 inches long. Slide floss under the roll; bring the ends up and cross over to cut each slice. Place, cut sides down, in greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan . Cover with towel; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour .
  6. Bake in preheated 350ºF oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Cool on wire rack for at least 20 minutes.
  7. Combine all frosting ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Drizzle over rolls.
