I first saw this recipe in a Taste of Home holiday recipes magazine and tried it for Christmas. We enjoyed it so much that I now make it several times a year. And even though it's a yeast bread, it doesn't have to be kneaded. Preparation time does not include overnight chilling.

Ingredients

1/4 ounce active dry yeast, packet
1 cup warm milk (110-115 degrees)
4 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter

The soft dough in this recipe is so easy to work with. It bakes into a golden tender pastry that surrounds a luscious cherry center. Since the recipe makes four loaves, I serve one and freeze the other three for future use. -Mary Christianson, Carmel, Indiana

Tips:

Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them and drain them well before using.
Pit the cherries before using. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to remove the pits.
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to make the dough easier to work with.
Brush the dough with melted butter before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the filling from sticking to the dough.
Bake the kringle until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Conclusion:

Cherry kringle is a delicious and festive pastry that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fillings. With these tips, you can make a perfect cherry kringle every time.
