Spread the cherries out in one layer.
Roast for 30 minutes, then chop roughly and scrape into a bowl. Cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, whisk together the yeast, flours, coffee, cocoa, ancho chile powder and cinnamon.
Add the yogurt mixture and start the mixer. Mix/knead for 15 minutes on low speed. It will be very sticky.
