How to Make Cherry Sweet Rolls

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup cherry pie filling
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk warm milk and melted butter together. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the cherry pie filling evenly over it.
6. Roll the dough tightly from one long side and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
7. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish with space between them. Let them rise for another 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375°F.
8. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until they turn golden brown. Drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk before serving.

How to Serve Cherry Sweet Rolls

Serve your Cherry Sweet Rolls warm for the best flavor. You can drizzle them with a simple glaze or serve them plain. They make a great addition to breakfast tables or are perfect for a cozy afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

How to Store Cherry Sweet Rolls

To store Cherry Sweet Rolls, let them cool to room temperature. Place them in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for about a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months.

Tips to Make Cherry Sweet Rolls

• Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast correctly.
• For an extra touch, add almond extract along with the vanilla for a lovely flavor.
• If you want a lighter roll, let the dough rise longer. This makes it fluffier.

Variation

You can also use different fruit fillings, such as blueberry or apple, if you want to switch things up. Experimenting with different fillings can lead to delightful discoveries!

FAQs

Can I use fresh cherries instead of pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh cherries, but you will need to cook them down with sugar to create a filling consistency.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough a day in advance, let it rise, then refrigerate it overnight. When you’re ready to bake, let it come to room temperature before rolling it out.

How can I reheat leftover rolls?
You can reheat leftover rolls in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes. This will help restore their softness.
