Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
- Zest of 1 orange
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by warming milk to about 110°F (43°C) and mixing in active dry yeast. Let sit until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt; create a well in the center. Pour in the yeast mixture, softened butter, and eggs; mix until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- For the filling, mix cinnamon and sugar in one bowl; toss cranberries with orange zest in another.
- Roll out risen dough into a rectangle, spread butter over it, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture and cranberry filling.
- Roll tightly from one end; pinch seams closed and place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
- Let rise again until puffy (30-45 minutes). Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
