Make sure you have fed your sourdough starter at least 4-6 hours before using it.

Mix 1 cup bread flour, ¾ cup water, and ½ cup starter. Stir vigorously, making sure all of the flour has been hydrated.

Leave the starter on top of your fridge until it has doubled (4-6 hours). This depends on how warm your house is. The warmer your house, the faster it will rise and double.

In a kitchen aid mixer bowl, combine milk, eggs, sugar, salt, starter, and flour. Knead on speed 3 with a dough hook attachment for about 3-5 mins, until well combined.

Add the softened butter and knead for 5-7 mins on speed 3.

Cover the bowl with a plastic and leave on top of your fridge for 1 hour.

In 1 hour, do a set of coil folds to strengthen the dough. Cover with plastic and leave on top of your fridge for another hour.

After 1 hour, do one more set of coil foils. Leave the dough covered on top of your fridge for 6-8 hours (overnight)

In the morning: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 1 hour. This will help you handle the dough easier, it will be soft and pliable.

In the morning: Take the dough out of the fridge and onto a floured counter. Your dough will be firm and easy to work with.

Divide the dough into 14 equal pieces using a sharp knife or a bench scraper.

To shape each portion of dough, fold the edges into the center. Flip it over so that it is seam side down and roll it gently with your hands until it is smooth and round.

Place the rolled balls of dough onto a parchment paper and let it rise for about 2 hours. (If you are in a time crunch, you can skip this step and start making a well in the dough ball and filling it).

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, mix together cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Using a floured bottom of a jar or a glass, press the middle of the dough ball to make a well.

Spoon 1-2 tbsp of cream cheese into the well of the dough, and top with 1-2 tbsp of the cherry pie filling.

Preheat your oven to 350°F(180°C).

Bake for 25-30 mins, until the edges are golden to your desired liking.

Dust with powdered sugar.
