Preparation
- Combine yeast, warm milk, and water in a bowl; allow it to froth for about 5 minutes.
- Mix flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
- Add melted butter, beaten egg, and the frothy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Knead until you achieve a smooth, elastic dough, about 5-7 minutes.
- Let rise the dough in a warm place until it doubles in size, typically around 1 hour.
- Prepare the filling by mixing granulated sugar, softened butter, chopped cranberries, and orange juice in a bowl. Mix until everything is well combined and fruity.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the sweet filling evenly over the dough, then roll it up tightly from the long side.
- Slice the rolled dough into 16 equal pieces. Place them cut-side up in a greased baking dish, allowing some space for rising.
- Allow to rise again for 30 minutes, so they become fluffy and airy before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) about 15 minutes before baking.
- Bake the rolls for 30 minutes or until they are golden brown and have risen perfectly.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a bowl. Drizzle over the warm rolls once they have cooled slightly.
