Yield Makes 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
3 1/2 cups (or more) bread flour
1 tablespoon (packed) golden brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons quick-rising dry yeast (from one 1/4-ounce envelope)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus additional for coating bowl
1 large egg
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 large egg, beaten to blend (for glaze)
Raw sugar*

Steps:

  • Stir nuts in dry skillet over medium heat until toasted, about 5 minutes. Cool.
  • Mix 3 1/2 cups bread flour and next 3 ingredients in bowl of heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Warm milk in small saucepan over low heat until instant-read thermometer inserted into milk registers 95°F. Add oil; remove from heat. Add milk mixture and 1 egg to flour mixture. Mix on low speed until wet coarse ball forms, about 1 minute. Add nuts and cranberries. Replace paddle attachment on mixer with dough hook. Mix dough on low speed until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 4 minutes. Transfer dough to floured surface; knead 2 minutes.
  • Lightly oil large bowl. Shape dough into ball; place in prepared bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap; let dough rise at room temperature until almost doubled in volume, 1 3/4 to 2 hours.
  • Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer dough to unfloured surface; divide into 12 equal pieces. Using cupped hand, roll and rotate 1 dough piece firmly on work surface until dough piece pops up into cupped hand as smooth round ball, about 6 rotations. (This will make dough ball as smooth as possible; if necessary, wipe work surface with damp paper towel to help create traction.) Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
  • Transfer rolls to prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Spray rolls with nonstick spray. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rise at room temperature until 1 1/2 times original size, about 1 1/2 hours. Brush rolls with egg glaze; sprinkle with raw sugar. Let rise 15 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F.
  • Place rolls in oven; reduce oven temperature to 400°F and bake 7 minutes. Rotate baking sheet; bake rolls until golden and slightly firm to touch, about 8 minutes longer. Cool completely on rack. DO AHEAD: Wrap in foil, then enclose in resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 2 weeks. Thaw rolls at room temperature. If desired, rewarm rolls wrapped in foil in 350°F oven about 10 minutes.
  • Also called turbinado or demerara sugar; available at most supermarkets.

CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY NUT BALLS



Chocolate Cranberry Nut Balls image

I'm gravitating towards the Paleo Diet so I created this high-protein and energy snack recipe out of a desire to eliminate those expensive and so-called nutritious protein bars. I don't want all of the processed carbs that are hidden in them because, quite honestly, they aren't that healthy. These are really tasty and my whole family loves them. I recommend making them fairly small and bite-sized, as they can crumble a little as you're biting into them. Freezing or refrigerating them keeps the messiness down, but they won't spoil if left at room temperature. I eat 4 or 5 with a big glass of water and feel full!

These delectable creations start with a rich and flavorful dough, typically made from a combination of flour, sugar, yeast, salt, butter, and milk. The dough is kneaded until smooth and elastic, then set aside to rise until double in size. This rising process allows the yeast to ferment the dough, producing carbon dioxide gas that creates the characteristic airy texture of the rolls.

Once the dough has risen, it's time to roll and shape it. The dough is divided into individual portions, each of which is rolled out into a long, thin rectangle. The filling is then spread evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. The dough is then rolled up tightly, starting from the long side, and pinched closed at the seam. The resulting logs are cut into individual rolls, which are placed in a greased baking dish and allowed to rise again before baking.

The baking process is crucial for achieving the perfect cranberry nut rolls. The rolls are baked at a moderate temperature until they are golden brown and cooked through. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the rolls and the type of oven used. Once the rolls are baked, they are removed from the oven and allowed to cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the filling.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a warm and inviting aroma.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking to give them a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the rolls warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

With their irresistible combination of sweet and tangy flavors, cranberry nut rolls are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe provides all the necessary steps and tips to create these delicious pastries at home. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.
