Notes

For a healthier version, substitute half of the wheat flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; for longer storage, wrap individually and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat frozen rolls in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. To prevent cherries from sinking, pat them dry thoroughly before use. Feel free to customize with spices like cinnamon or vanilla for enhanced flavor!
