If you have been reading my blog, you know that strawberries
are one of my favorites.
Freeze-dried strawberries are so easy to use and taste delicious. I love to experiment with them. I decided to change up my favorite
cinnamon roll recipe. It actually
turned out better than I had hoped.
Considering the red strawberry filling and the white frosting on top,
they would make a great Christmas treat.
Your family will love them anytime. It is very likely that you will be able to make them
entirely from items in your food storage pantry. I hope that you will give this recipe a try.
Note:
Freeze-dried raspberries, blueberries, mangos, peaches and pineapple can
be substituted.
Strawberry Swirl Sweet
Rolls
Mix the following ingredients and let yeast develop for
about 10 to 15 minutes.
2 C. warm water
½ C. oil
½ C. sugar
2 pkgs. or 2 T. yeast
Add:
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs or 2 T. whole egg powder + 4T. water
Knead the dough and let it rise until double in a greased
bowl covered with plastic wrap.
Roll out until it is about 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick. Spread Strawberry filling over the
dough evenly. Roll up as if it
were a cinnamon roll. Seal the
edges. Cut into 1 ½ inch slices
using a piece of thread. Place on
a greased baking sheet. Cover with
a damp kitchen towel and let rise until double. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden
brown. Remove from oven. While slightly warm, drizzle with
vanilla frosting.
Strawberry Filling
In a saucepan mix the following ingredients. Bring to a boil and continue to cook
until mixture becomes very thick (like jam).
2 C. freeze-dried strawberries
¾ C. water
1/3 C. sugar
Add:
½ tsp. vanilla extract
Continue cooking for 1 minute.
These rolls are delicious and can be made on the spur of the
moment when using ingredients from your food storage pantry. If you have never used freeze-dried
fruits and vegetables, I recommend giving them a try. You will be surprised and how fast and easy they are to use
and how convenient they are. They
make cooking quick and easy because they are already chopped and ready to
rehydrate in your favorite recipe.
I recommend trying Shelf Reliance Thrive freeze-dried foods. They are of the highest quality and
give you the piece of mind knowing they are in your pantry and ready to
use. Most Thrive freeze-dried
foods have a shelf life of 25 years unopened and up to a year after
opened. Give them a try. You will love them!
