Description

Ingredients

• 1 c. warm water (about 110 degrees)
• 3 tbsp. sugar
• 1 - ¼ oz. packet active dry yeast
• 2½ c. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 1 c. dried cranberries
• zest and juice of 1 orange
• ¾ c. walnuts
• ½ c. packed brown sugar
• zest of 1 orange
• juice of ½ orange
• 1½ c. powdered sugar

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl fitted with the dough hook attachment, stir together water, sugar, and yeast.
• Let stand for 5 minutes, or until the yeast foams and is frothy.
• Add flour, salt, and butter to the mixing bowl.
• Beat at low-medium speed for about 5 minutes, or until dough is soft, smooth, and elastic.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, turning over once to coat the top, and cover.
• Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until double in size.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Roll into a 12x14-inch rectangle.
• Brush the dough with the melted butter to within ½-inch from the edges.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dried cranberries, orange zest, and orange juice.
• Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until cranberries are soft.
• Transfer to a food processor, and add walnuts.
• Process until walnuts and cranberries are finely minced.
• Stir in brown sugar.
• Spread evenly over dough.
• Starting with one long side, roll dough jelly-roll style into a log.
• Cut into about 10 rolls. They will be pretty packed with filling, so transfer them carefully to the skillet so they dont spill or fall apart.
• Arrange rolls in a greased 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until nearly double in size.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are golden, and when you press toward the center, it feels set. It shouldnt feel doughy when lightly pressed toward the middle.
• Let cool for 10-15 minutes, and prepare glaze.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together orange zest, orange juice, and powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, if needed, to achieve desired consistency.
• Drizzle over warm sweet rolls.
