Follow these steps to create delicious Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls:
1. Prepare the Dough:

2. Mix Ingredients:
– Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
3. Add Flour:
– Gradually add the flour to the mixture, one cup at a time. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough:
– Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise:
– Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Filling:

7. Roll Out the Dough:
– After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Spread the Filling:
– Spread softened butter evenly on the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it, followed by an even layer of sliced strawberries.
9. Roll and Cut:
