Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Hand mixer with kneading hook
  • Rolling pin
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 250 ml milk
  • 80 g butter
  • 30 g baked cocoa
  • 430 g wheat flour Type 405
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 21 g cube yeast
  • 1 medium egg
  • some flour to work
  • 500 g fresh cherries or 300 g frozen sour cherries
  • 70 g soft butter
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 100 g dark bittersweet chocolate drops
  • 80 g cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • some fresh cherries and chocolate drops to sprinkle

Instructions

  • Heat the milk, butter, and baked cocoa in a small saucepan until the butter melts completely. Whisk until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and crumbled yeast. Pour in the lukewarm cocoa mixture and crack in the egg. Blend with a hand mixer for about 5 minutes until soft and elastic.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for an hour in a warm spot.
  • While the dough rests, wash and dry the cherries, remove the pits, and cut them in half. Beat the soft butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for convection) and line an oval baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle measuring 25 cm x 50 cm and spread the butter-sugar mixture evenly.
  • Sprinkle the cherry halves and chocolate drops over the dough, then roll it from the long side into a tight log.
  • Slice the log into 10 equal pieces and arrange them in the prepared baking dish, leaving space for expansion.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter after baking for a shiny glaze.

Notes

For extra gooeyness, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter right after baking. Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or freeze for up to a month. If you live in a humid climate, avoid leaving the rolls uncovered as they might lose their soft texture. Customize your filling with more chocolate or try using different fruits such as blueberries or raspberries for a twist! Enjoy your baking adventure!
