Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup warm milk (110°F)
⅓ cup melted butter
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups tart cherries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Warm the milk until just lukewarm. In a bowl, mix the active dry yeast and sugar with the warm milk; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Gradually add flour and melted butter to the yeast mixture, mixing until incorporated. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, combine sugar, cinnamon, and tart cherries in a bowl for the filling.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle (¼ inch thick), spread the cherry mixture evenly, then roll tightly from one end to another.
Cut into rolls and place on a lined baking sheet; let rise for another 30 minutes before baking at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
