Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup Warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dry yeast
  • 4 tablespoon White granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Butter softened
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional)
  • 3 ¼ cups Bread flour
  • 12 Maraschino cherries

ICING

  • 3 cups Powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup Milk
  • ¼ cup Corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon Lemon juice

Instructions
 

ROLLS

  • Place the warm milk and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. 
  • Whisk gently and let sit for about 5 minutes. 
  • Add the sugar, salt, butter, egg, vanilla extract, and flour to the bowl. 
  • Use a dough hook attachment to blend the ingredients together at medium speed.
  • It will take around 10 minutes for the dough to come together and form a smooth ball. 
  • Transfer the dough to a large, greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. 
  • Let the dough sit for an hour, allow it to rise, and puff up to about double its original size. 
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to deflate, then place it on a lightly floured work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a large rectangle. 
  • Roll up the dough tightly like a Swiss roll.
  • Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces, slicing slowly to keep the circular shape of each bun as you slice.
  • Place the slices on a parchment-lined sheet tray, then cover the tray gently with plastic wrap and let it sit for another hour to allow the rolls time to rise again.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C.
  • Once the rolls are puffed, remove the plastic wrap and place the tray in the preheated oven. 
  • Bake for 18-25 minutes or until the buns are golden brown. 
  • Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool down.

ICING

  • While the rolls are baking, make the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and lemon juice.
  • Once the buns have cooled use a decorating bag to add the icing ontop of the rolls, and then top with a single cherry in the center. 
  • Place back on the sheet tray to let the icing dry, then enjoy!
