divide the dough into two parts and spread the cream on each of them, without reaching the edge, spread the chopped walnuts and chopped cherries.


fold each rectangle of dough, in half and lengthwise, closing all the edges well and then carefully roll, forming a roll with each one.

2 long cylinders are achieved, which are joined at one end and are wound together. then join the tips, forming the thread. put on a greased plate, cover with a dry cloth and let it rise well.
