The day before:

1. The day before enjoying these rolls prepare the sweet dough per Sarah at The Vanilla Bean Blog

The day of:

1. Remove your dough from the fridge and let it come to room temperature.

2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and the lemon zest for the filling. Set aside to let the oil from the zest flavor the sugar. 

3. Once the dough comes to room temperature, spray a 9×13 inch pan and set aside. 

4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle roughly 16×12 inches.

5. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the lemon sugar mixture. Top with poppy seeds. 

6. Roll the dough into a log starting on one long side and working towards the other long side. 

7. Cut the log into 12 rolls. Place rolls into the prepared pan and cover with a towel for a second rise, 1 hour or until doubled in size. 

8. While the dough rises, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 

9. Once the dough has risen, remove the towel and place in the preheated oven. Bake 26 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Rotate the pan halfway through the baking time to ensure even baking. 

10. Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. 

11. While the rolls cool, prepare the glaze. Whisk the glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl or large measuring cup. 

12. Once the rolls are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze on the rolls. If you didn’t mix the strawberries into the glaze sprinkle them evenly on top. The glaze will pool and soak into the warm rolls. 

Enjoy!
