Holiday Cranberry Rolls
Ingredients
1 package dry yeast (1 tsp.)
1/4 C. warm water
1 C. whole wheat flour
1-1/2 C. unbleached flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 C. low fat milk
2 eggs
Cranberry Orange Filling:
1-1/2 C. fresh or frozen cranberries
1 orange, peeled
2 Tbsp. brown sugar or fructose
1/4 C. unsweetened applesauce
frozen orange juice concentrate
Cooking Instructions
Soften the yeast in the warm water. Combine the flours, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add the milk, eggs, and softened yeast. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or overnight. Meanwhile, make the cranberry orange filling by combining the cranberries, orange, brown sugar, and applesauce in a food processor. Grind until coarse. Transfer to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Cool. After chilling, roll the dough into an 18 by 12 inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread with the filling. Roll up jellyroll fashion. Cut into 18 rolls with a sharp knife. Place in an oiled 13 by 9 inch baking pan. Let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Glaze with orange juice concentrate.
