Description

Cranberry Orange Sweet Rolls are a festive treat combining tart cranberries and bright orange flavor. Soft, fluffy rolls filled with a sweet cranberry mixture and topped with a creamy orange glaze make them perfect for holiday breakfasts or brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Sweet Roll Dough:
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cranberry Filling:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • For the Orange Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: Combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, yeast, salt, cinnamon) in a large bowl. Mix wet ingredients (warm milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla) in a separate bowl. Pour wet into dry ingredients and stir until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Cranberry Filling: In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, orange zest, cornstarch, and water. Cook for 5-7 minutes until cranberries burst and mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Punch down risen dough and roll into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Spread the cooled cranberry filling evenly over the dough. Roll tightly into a log, sealing the seam. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
  6. Bake the Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cover with foil if they brown too quickly.
  7. Make the Orange Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the orange glaze over the slightly cooled rolls. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for extra crunch.
  • Dried cranberries can be used; soak them in water to soften before use.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the dough for more warmth.
  • Serve with coffee, tea, or fresh fruit and yogurt.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat before serving.
