In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
In a saucepan over medium heat, heat milk and butter until butter melts.
Allow mixture to cool to 115℉/46℃.
Pour milk mixture over dry ingredients and beat with a flat beater until combined.
Add egg and beat an additional 2 minutes.
Switch to dough hook and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
Place dough in a covered container that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (If using a proofing box with humidity, you don't need to cover.)
Allow to rise at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, about an hour. (If using a proofing box, set temperature to 78℉/26℃.)
While dough is rising, spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.
Roll into a rectangle that is ⅛-inch thick.
Spread dough with jam.
Cut into 1-inch wide strips.
Cut each strip in half.
Beginning with the outer edge, roll strip toward center to form a spiral.
Place on prepared baking sheet.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled, about 1½ hours.
While dough is proofing, heat oven to 350℉/177℃
Bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Allow to cool before adding glaze.

If milk mixture gets too hot, don't worry! Allow it to cool to 115℉/46℃ before pouring it into the dry ingredients.
Don't have a big enough lidded container to allow the dough to rise? You can put the dough in a glass bowl and cover it with plastic wrap!
You can use a pizza cutter to cut dough into strips before rolling, or roll the dough as one large roll and then use a sharp knife or a piece of plain-unflavored dental floss to cut it into individual rolls!
If you want the dough/rolls to proof faster, place them near something warm like the oven! Just don't put the dough in the oven.
Don't over fill the rolls with filling! It may not look like much, but It's enough. If you add any more filling, when you roll the strips, the filling will spill out everywhere and make a huge mess!
