A festive and delicious recipe for Cranberry Cinnamon Rolls shaped into a wreath, perfect for holiday breakfasts or desserts. Features a soft green-tinted dough, tart cranberry filling, and a rich cream cheese frosting.
1. Add milk, butter, and sugar to a small pot; mix and warm up over medium heat just until butter melts.
2. Add the flour, yeast, salt, egg and green food color into a standing mixer’s bowl. Mix on lowest speed with hook attachment just until combined.
3. Pour in the melted butter/milk/sugar mixture in a slow thin stream while the mixer is going on low speed.
4. Increase the speed to medium-high and knead for 10 minutes.
5. Warm up the oven to 200F, then turn it off. Transfer the dough into a separate greased bowl; cover with kitchen plastic and allow to rise in the warm oven for 1.5 hours.
6. To make the filling: combine the cranberries, sugar and cinnamon in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Allow to cool before use.
7. To make the frosting: whip the cream cheese and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 5 min. Reduce the mixer's speed to lowest and add vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar. Mix until combined.
8. Once the dough has risen, roll it to a 1/4" thick rectangle. Spread the filling. Starting from the shorter end, roll the dough into a tight log. Slice into 1" pieces using a thread and tightly arrange in a greased bundt pan; cover with plastic, and place into warm oven for 30 minutes to rise. Bake on 350F on middle rack for 15-18 minutes. Spread the cream cheese frosting while the rolls are still warm. Enjoy!❤️
