Instructions
- Warm the milk and active dry yeast together in a large bowl. Wait about five minutes until the yeast starts to foam and work.
- Put the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and 2 cups of flour into the bowl with the yeast. Mix everything together well.
- Add the rest of the flour and salt slowly while stirring. Do this until a soft dough forms.
- Spread the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead it for five to seven minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a bowl that has been greased. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Leave it somewhere warm and draft-free for one to one and a half hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- To make the filling, put the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and mix them together until they are well mixed.
- Spread the dough out on a floured surface and press it down so it’s about 16 inches by 20 inches.
- Spread the filling out evenly on the dough that has been rolled out, leaving a little space around the edges. Spread the dried cranberries out over the filling in a thin layer.
- Roll the dough into a log shape starting from the long edge. To seal the seam, pinch it.
Cut the log into 12 rolls of the same size with a sharp knife or dental floss. - Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and put them in a greased baking dish. Let them rise for another 30 to 45 minutes, or until they are puffy and doubled in size.
- Warm the oven up to 175°F (350°F).Open the oven and put the rolls in it. Bake them for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Get the cream cheese frosting ready while the rolls are baking. Cream cheese and butter should be softened. Put them in a bowl and beat them together until the smooth.
- Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract slowly until the mixture is smooth. If you need to, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the consistency you want is reached.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting on the warm rolls after they have been baked and cooled a bit. Enjoy the warm, fluffy, gooey cranberry cinnamon rolls!
