Instructions

  1. Prepare the cherry filling by cooking frozen cherries, sugar, cold water, and cornstarch in a saucepan until thickened. Let cool.
  2. Make the dough by mixing warm water with yeast until frothy, then combine with milk, sugar, eggs, salt, and gradually add flour to form a soft dough.

  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread cooled cherry filling evenly over it.
  5. Roll tightly from one edge and cut into slices before placing on a baking sheet to rise again for about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
