After mango it’s now cherry season. When you go to market you find Cherries all around. Cherries look so pretty and can be used to make any boring looking plate into a gourmet delight. Cherries are super food packed with anti oxidants, vitamins, minerals. They are nature’s true healing food which are known to have numerous health benefits.

I love to eat fresh cherries, the tartness is what makes it yum. I love to use fresh cherries in my cakes and desserts. Today I’m posting a recipe of delicious sweet bun with cherry compote and cottage cheese filling. I have made rose buns which look so gorgeous that I only felt like admiring them. These mildly sweet buns can be had with your tea for a quick breakfast, given in your kids snackpack, carried for picnic or gifted to someone you love. Have it any time of the day you are going to love them!

You can check out my whole wheat bread recipe if you are a beginner in bread baking, that will give a basic idea of handling the dough. Check my other stuffed bread recipe Jaggery Cinnamon roll, chicken salami stuffed pizza bread.

  • Knead for about 12-15 minutes till the dough bounces back.
