Sweet rolls with fruit jam are a delicious and simple treat that can be enjoyed as a dessert or a sweet breakfast option.
Here is a detailed recipe to make sweet rolls with fruit jam:

Serving size and preparation time:

Serving size: This recipe makes about 12 sweet rolls with fruit jam. The serving size may vary depending on how many sweet rolls each person eats, but generally, 1-2 sweet rolls per person is a good estimate.
Preparation time: The preparation time for this recipe is about 2 hours, including dough rising time. However, if you have some of the ingredients prepped in advance, such as the fruit jam or the glaze, the preparation time can be reduced.

Ingredients:

• For the sweet roll dough:
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

For the fruit jam filling:

• 1 cup fruit jam of your choice (such as strawberry, raspberry, or blueberry)

For the glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, warm milk, and yeast. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until it doubles in size.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the fruit jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
6. Roll up the dough tightly from the long edge, making sure to seal the edges by pinching them together. Cut the roll into slices about 1 inch thick.
7. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown.
8. While the sweet rolls are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
9. Once the sweet rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the sweet rolls and serve warm.
