Vanilla Cloverleaf Sweet Rolls with Strawberry Jam


Master sweet dough (see recipe here)
1 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp whole milk
2/3 cup plus
3 tbsp sugar
1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 large green apple, peeled and shredded
1 tbsp lemon juice
Flour, for dusting



Combine the strawberries and 2/3 cup sugar in a large skillet, then stir in the shredded apple.  Cook over medium-low heat, stirring to break up the strawberries, until the sugar dissolves.

Simmer until the jam thickens, about 2 hours. Then stir in the lemon juice.

Transfer to a bowl or jar, cover, and chill until set, about 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375-deg and place a rack in the center. Lightly coat a muffin pan with the melted butter, then set aside.

Punch the dough down and divide in half. Working on a floured surface, roll half of the dough into a 12” long log.  Cut into 6 equal pieces, then cut each of those pieces into three.

Roll each piece of dough into a 1” thick ball and place three balls in each muffin cup. Then repeat with the other dough half.

(Note: cover the half you’re not working with in plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.)

Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rise for an hour or until the dough has risen about 1” over the rim of the muffin pan. Brush the top of the rolls with the milk, then sprinkle with the remaining tbsp of sugar.

Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Then transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes. Serve with the strawberry jam.
