  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar and let it become foamy.

  3. Cover and let the dough rise until doubled in size.

  6. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Spread cooled cherry filling over the dough.
