Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, mix the yeast mixture with softened butter and egg.
Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare Filling:
In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Assemble Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.
Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough, then spread the strawberry jam over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Roll the dough up tightly from the long side, then slice into 12 even pieces.
Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Bake:
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
