How to Make Cherry Sweet Rolls
Follow these simple steps to prepare this delicious dish:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C). Add granulated sugar and let it sit until frothy—this means your yeast is awake and ready to party!
Step 2: Mix Ingredients
In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add melted butter and eggs into the yeast mixture before incorporating your flour mix until a dough starts forming.
Step 3: Knead Like a Pro
Turn your dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This workout is totally optional but highly recommended!
Step 4: Rise Up
Place your kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size—about an hour. You could use this time to binge-watch that show everyone’s talking about.
Step 5: Fill ‘Em Up
After your dough has risen beautifully, roll it out into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface, sprinkle cinnamon on top, then layer those luscious cherries evenly across before rolling it up like you’re creating a giant cherry burrito.
Step 6: Slice & Bake
Cut your roll into equal pieces (about one inch thick) and place them in greased baking pans. Let them rise again until puffy—roughly another half hour—and then bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer to plates and drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar mixed with water—a little goes a long way! Enjoy warm with friends or keep them all to yourself… I won’t tell!
