Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cups Eggnog (warm, approx. 110°F)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cups Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (for filling)
• 1 tablespoons Ground cinnamon (for filling)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
• 1 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Eggnog (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the warm eggnog, melted butter, and eggs.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead for about 5-6 minutes on medium speed.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll it out on a floured surface into a roughly 12x18-inch rectangle.

Step 7

Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough, then scatter the dried cranberries on top.

Step 9

Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Step 10

Cut the log into 12 equal slices (about 1.5 inches each) and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cut side up.

Step 11

Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 13

Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Step 14

Allow the rolls to cool for 10 minutes while you prepare the glaze.

Step 15

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggnog, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 16

Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately. Enjoy your festive Cranberry Eggnog Rolls!
