- Preparation: 85 min
- Cooking: 33 min
- Makes: 1 serving (150 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 35 g Flour, all-purpose
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 18 g Sugar
- 0.8 g Yeast, active dry
- 15 g Milk, whole
- 8 g Eggs, whole, raw

- Toss the cherries with the cornstarch and spread them over the dough.
