Jam:
12oz of fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice
Zest of one orange
3/4 cup of vanilla sugar (I had some on hand but regular sugar is just as good.)
- Combine all ingredients in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Continue simmering for 25 – 30 minutes stirring occasionally until cranberries burst and break down and become jammy.
- Allow to cool and transfer to a jar to place in the fridge while you work on the dough.
White chocolate glaze:
Equal parts white chocolate and heavy cream
- Heat both chocolate and cream in a double boiler over medium low heat while rolls are baking. Let cool before topping rolls.
Dough:
156g whole milk
256g whole eggs
72g sugar
6g yeast
180g room temp butter
600g AP flour
12g salt
- Combine milk, eggs, sugar, yeast, and butter in a large bowl.
- Add flour and salt on top of the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth, even, wet dough is formed.
- Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Flour your work surface and knead the rested dough by pushing it away from you using the heel of your hands and giving it a quarter turn after each push. Continue until dough has tightened and become more smooth (about 5-10 minutes.)
- Return dough to bowl, cover, and let rise for 1.5-2 hours.
- Flour your work surface again and roll out your rested dough until it’s a rough 8×24 inch rectangle.
- Spread your chilled jam on your rolled out dough and roll the entire thing into a long tube.
- Cut into 12 even pieces.
- Place your pieces into a 9×13 lined with parchment paper and let proof for 1.5-2 hours. You can also put them in the fridge over night and then proof in the morning.
- While proofing, preheat your oven to 375F.
- Once done proofing, bake for 30-40 minutes or until the tops are golden.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Top with white chocolate glaze and zest of an orange. Serve immediately and enjoy!
