Description

Ingredients

• Dough
• 1 package yeast
• ¼ cup sugar
• ⅔ cup milk
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 egg
• 2¼ - 2½ cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Filling
• 2 cups cranberries
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 orange - zested and juiced
• ¼ cup water
• Frosting
• 2 cups confectioners sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 - 4 tablespoons water or milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla

Directions

• Add the yeast, sugar and milk to your mixing bowl. Let is set for a few minutes to let the yeast get going. Mix up the egg and add it with the melted butter. Stir it until mixed.
• Then add the flour and salt. Mix until it comes together. Use your dough hook and mix for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and satiny looking. Cover and let dough raise until doubled. Punch it down and let it raise a second time, this one usually takes about 30 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is.
• To make the filling, chop the cranberries in a food processor. (You can chop them with a knife but it is not fun as the berries roll.) Add the berries with sugar to a saucepan. Zest the orange and then juice it. Add the zest, juice and water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is reduced and mixture is thickened. Cool.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12 x 16 rectangle. Spread the cranberries over the top of the dough. Roll the dough up into a cylinder.
• Grease a 12 inch pan. Cut the dough into 1 inch rolls. Place in the pan. Cover and let raise until doubled.
• Mix together the frosting ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. Let set for 5 minutes and turn rolls out of pan onto a wire rack. Flip rolls over and frost while still warm.
