Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups frozen cherries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 2 tbs corn starch
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbs unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 13 tbs whole milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cherry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine frozen cherries, sugar, water, and cornstarch. Stir until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Make the Dough: Mix warm water and yeast in a small bowl; let it sit until bubbly. In a large bowl, combine yeast mixture with milk, sugar, eggs, flour, and salt. Knead until smooth.
  3. Let It Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
  4. Roll It Out: Punch down the dough; roll it into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread cherry filling evenly.
  5. Form the Rolls: Roll up tightly and cut into equal pieces (approximately 12). Place cut-side up in greased pans; let rise briefly.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Frosting: Mix softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk for desired consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls.
