Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 2 ¼ tsps (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 3 ¼ cups (400 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 can (540 g / 21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1 tsp almond extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 3 tbsps milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: Activate yeast in warm milk with sugar until frothy. Blend in melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually incorporate flour to create a silky, elastic dough. Thoroughly knead on a lightly dusted surface until smooth and supple. Transfer to a greased vessel, envelop, and allow to proof until volume doubles, roughly 1-1.5 hours.
- Filling and Shaping: Elongate dough into a rectangular canvas. Lavishly distribute cherry pie filling across surface, maintaining a narrow perimeter. Meticulously roll from the lengthwise edge into a compact cylinder. Slice into uniform portions.
- Secondary Proofing and Baking: Nestle rolls into a prepared baking vessel. Allow secondary rise for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350F (175C). Bake until golden and aromatic, approximately 25-30 minutes.
- Glaze Crafting: Whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract, creating a silky, pourable consistency. Adjust liquid as necessary to achieve desired texture.
- Final Touch and Presentation: Generously drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Serve immediately for optimal indulgence.
Notes
- Select active dry yeast that’s recently purchased and not expired to ensure proper rising and soft texture.
- Warm milk should be around 110-115°F (43-46°C) – too hot kills yeast, too cold prevents activation.
- When spreading cherry filling, leave a small border to prevent leakage and ensure clean, neat rolls during baking.
- Cover rising dough with a damp cloth to maintain moisture and prevent skin formation on the surface.
