I found this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it. It turns out that it was so good that I had to include this on our blog! I had some leftover dinner roll dough and used that as my bread and it tasted great. You've got to try this. I also used fresh pureed strawberries instead of the jam and it was fantastic!~BJ
