Vatrushka Ingredients:
1 cup Warm Milk (about 100 degrees)
1/2 tablespoon Yeast
4 tablespoons Sugar, divided
3 1/4 cups Flour, divided
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Egg, beaten for egg wash
1 bag Frozen Sweet Cherries
1/4 cup Sugar
4 tablespoon Butter, diced or grated
1 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 cup Flour
Instructions:
Pour warm milk into a bowl, sprinkle yeast on top and let sit 7 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and whisk until blended. Let sit in a warm oven (no more than 100 degrees) for 20 minutes. Whisk in egg, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, melted butter, and salt. Use the dough hooks on an electric mixer and mix in flour, 1 cup at a time. Make sure it is fully mixed in before adding more. Dough is done when it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Cover bowl and let rise in a warm oven (100 degrees) for one hour, or until tripled in size. Remove from bowl, cut in half, repeat with each piece, until you have a total of 16 pieces. Roll into balls with your hands, and place in a buttered ban (9x13 or 10x15 should work just right). Use a small glass to create a "well" in the center of each ball, place 3-4 cherries in each well. Sprinkle each one with 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Let rise in a warm oven for 20 minutes. While rising, create your crumb/streusel mixture by combining diced butter, tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 cup of flour until crumbs form. Brush buns with egg wash, then sprinkle crumb mixture over the rolls. Bake at 360 for 20 minutes or until tops are a nice golden brown. You can serve hot out of the oven (the best!), room temperature, or reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Never heard of it, but, man it looks good. I might try to make this myself.
