• If the dough is too sticky, add more flour a tablespoon at a time until it becomes manageable.
• Let the rolls rise twice for the best results.
• If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
• To prevent the rolls from burning, cover them with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
