Ingredients - 8-10 Cherry Rolls

500g flour

200ml luke warm milk

1 egg

7g dried yeast

80g butter

80g sugar

a pinch of salt

200g cherry jam

1 egg yolk

some milk

some icing sugar for dusting

Method

Mix flour, sugar, dried yeast and salt in a large bowl. Melt butter, mix with egg and add to the bowl. Work into a smooth dough with your hands - about 5 minutes. Cover bowl and let rest at room temperature for about 1 hour - the volume should have doubled.

Remove dough from the bowl, punch down dough and roll out rectangular on a flour dusted surface. Stir jam until smooth and spread onto the dough. Starting at the long edge nearest you, tightly roll up the dough into a tight log. Cut into 8-10 pieces using a sharp knive.

Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper and place the rolls on the trays. Let rest for another 40 minutes.

Heat oven to 180°C. Beat up egg yolk with some milk and brush rolls with egg wash.

Bake in preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the rolls from the oven and allow to cool. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
