Cherry and chocolate buns are simply irresistible. You already know how well cherries and chocolate work together \u2013 there was no way these could be missing here. I had to wait a little for good cherries (I rely on deliveries to local Polish shops), but it was absolutely worth it. I won\u2019t say how many my husband managed to eat\u2026 but let\u2019s just say they\u2019re very hard to resist ;).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Makes 12 buns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients for the yeast dough:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 540 g strong white bread flour<\/li>\n
• 80 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• \u00be teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
• 10 g dried yeast or 20 g fresh yeast<\/li>\n
• 75 g butter, melted<\/li>\n
• 250 ml milk<\/li>\n
• 2 large eggs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Mix the flour with the dried yeast (or prepare a starter if using fresh yeast). Add the remaining ingredients and knead, adding the melted butter towards the end. Knead until the dough is soft and elastic. Place in a lightly floured bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1\u00bd hours).<\/p>\n

  Roll out the dough into a rectangle roughly 40 \u00d7 30 cm, lightly dusting with flour if needed. Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle with the sugar mixed with cocoa and cinnamon, followed by grated chocolate. Arrange the cherries evenly over the top (see filling below). Roll up tightly along the longer side to form a log. Cut into 12 equal slices (about 3\u20133.5 cm each) using a sharp knife or thread. Place on a lined baking tray, cover and leave to rise again for about 30 minutes, until puffed.<\/p>\n

  Bake at 180\u00b0C for about 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with icing while still a little warm.<\/p>\n

  Ingredients for the cherry chocolate filling:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • 80 g butter, melted<\/li>\n
  • 60 g soft brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n
  • 60 g chocolate (dark, milk, or a mix)<\/li>\n
  • 700 g cherries (up to 800 g if you can fit them!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Stone the cherries. Mix the brown sugar with cocoa and cinnamon. Grate the chocolate.<\/p>\n

    Ingredients for the icing:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
    • 1 cup icing sugar<\/li>\n
    • 3 tablespoons boiling water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Mix together until smooth, adjusting the consistency with more water or icing sugar as needed.<\/p>\n

      Enjoy!<\/p>\n
