Cranberry Orange Rolls
How to Make Cranberry Orange Rolls
To make these delicious Cranberry Orange Rolls, I start with the dough from Bart’s Cinnamon Rolls Recipe. I truly think that one of the best secrets of his no-fail cinnamon rolls is how tender and delicious his dough is so you better believe I used it for these rolls as well! 🙂 His video for making his Cinnamon Rolls shows you step-by-step how to make them, and may be useful for you to see how he makes his dough for this recipe as well. It is so easy and turns out perfectly every single time for us! Once you have your dough made, you roll it out into a large rectangle. Then, you spread the Cranberry Orange Roll filling onto the dough and roll the dough tightly to form a roll. Then, cut the dough into 3/4- to 1-inch slices and place into a buttered medium skillet. Pop your skillet into the oven and let the rolls bake until baked throughout and lightly golden brown, 15 minutes. While the rolls are baking, mix together your Cranberry Orange Roll Frosting and set aside.
When the rolls are baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Then, pour on your frosting and serve!
Make Ahead Instructions
Bake the Cranberry Orange Rolls as directed in the recipe, using a freezer-safe dish rather than your skillet, and then let them cool completely. Then, wrap them well with plastic wrap followed by foil. To serve, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Then, remove both wraps, and reheat in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes until they are warmed through. Once they are warmed throughout, frost them while still warm and serve!
