Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups frozen cherries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (for dough)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frosting)
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast by mixing warm water and active dry yeast in a bowl; let it bubble for about five minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, sugar, and eggs. Add the activated yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually mix in bread flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms; let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a greased bowl for one hour.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the cherry filling by heating frozen cherries and sugar until bubbling. Mix cold water with cornstarch; stir into cherries until thickened.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle; spread softened butter and cherry filling evenly over it. Roll tightly and slice into pieces.
  7. Place cut rolls in greased pans, let rise again for another half hour, then bake at 375°F for about 25–30 minutes.
  8. Allow to cool slightly; top with cream cheese frosting made by blending cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
