Ingredients Needed

Instant Dry Yeast: Dry instant yeast is added to make this dough fluffy and give it lots of rise! Warm Milk: You want the milk to be warm, but not hot enough to kill the yeast! Sugar: Sugar adds just a hint of sweetness to the dough. Eggs: Eggs add structure and richness to the dough! Butter: I used unsalted butter here. You’re going to melt the butter, so no need to make sure it is room temperature. All Purpose Flour: Regular, all-purpose flour works great! Salt: To balance the flavors and control the yeast. Orange Zest: Orange zest is added right to the dough for added citrusy flavor! Cranberry Sauce: You can use canned cranberry sauce, or use homemade. If you opt for canned, make sure to get the one with whole cranberries for a nice texture! Orange Glaze: To top them off with a homemade orange glaze, simply whisk together some powdered sugar, orange juice and orange zest!
