Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- Zest of 1 orange
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
Instructions
- Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Let it froth for about 5 minutes.
- Add melted butter, egg, salt, and gradually mix in flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until it’s smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch the dough down gently and roll it out into a rectangle. Sprinkle with cranberries, orange zest, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough from the long edge and cut into rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Mix powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth and pour over warm rolls.
