Ingredients
-
1 cup milk, warmed
-
1 tablespoon instant yeast
-
1 tablespoon white sugar
-
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
-
1 egg
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
-
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
-
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
⅓ cup dried cranberries
Filling:
-
1 cup white sugar
-
2 tablespoons grated orange zest, or more to taste
-
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
Orange Icing:
-
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
2 tablespoons orange juice
-
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
Directions
-
Place warm milk in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add orange juice, egg, butter, and orange zest to the bowl. Mix for 1 minute on low speed.
-
Add 3 cups flour and salt. Start mixing on low speed for 1 minute, then increase speed to medium for 2 minutes. Add dried cranberries. Mix in remaining 1/4 cup flour if needed; dough will be sticky.
-
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise for 1 1/2 hours.
-
While dough is rising, prepare the filling. Pour sugar into a medium bowl. Add orange zest and cardamom; work into the sugar with your fingers. Add softened butter and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
-
Turn dough out onto a large surface sprinkled with flour. Sprinkle more flour across the top. Roll into a large rectangle using a rolling pin. Spread the filling evenly over the rectangle. Roll up tightly from 1 long side. Cut log in half using a serrated knife. Cut each half in two so that the log is now quartered. Cut each quarter into 3, for 12 rolls total.
-
Place rolls into a lightly greased pan. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the pan of rolls on a foil-lined baking sheet in case any of the filling spills over.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 25 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, make the orange icing. Whip cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer. Add powdered sugar and mix for 1 minute. Add orange juice and zest. Continue mixing until icing is smooth and spreadable. Place in the refrigerator until rolls are ready.
-
Remove rolls from the oven and cover immediately with icing.
