CRANBERRY PISTACHIO BISCOTTI
The red and green make a great Christmas cookie. Have used other nuts instead of pistachios with success. If your pistachios are salted, omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt from the recipe.

CRANBERRY GINGER STICKY BUNS
When I was kid, I was desperate to bake with yeast. I wanted to enjoy the pillow-soft texture that you can only get from warm-from-the-oven, freshly baked, homemade treats. But I could never make my breads rise. Thankfully, as an adult, I've learned how to keep my yeast happy. I always store it in the freezer. That keeps it fresh for longer. And if there is any doubt, I proof it before adding it to the dough. And, if your house is chilly and your dough refuses to rise, you can wake up sleepy yeast in the oven. Set a baking pan of boiling water in the bottom of the oven. Add the baking pan of shaped rolls to the top rack. Keep the oven off and the door closed and the warm steam will help the buns rise.

Steps:
- For the dough: Lightly grease a large bowl and set aside.
- In a small pot, bring the milk just to a boil over medium heat. Watch closely to ensure that the milk doesn't boil over. Add it to a small bowl and let it cool to 105 to 110 degrees F. (It should be warm to the touch but not too hot.) Add the whole egg and yolks and stir to combine.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, cranberries, granulated sugar, yeast and salt. Add the warm milk mixture and mix just until combined.
- Switch to the dough hook and knead the dough on low speed until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. Add the butter a piece at a time until completely incorporated. Form the dough into a ball, put it in the prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it in a warm, draft-free spot until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- For the topping: Meanwhile, butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Add 3 tablespoons water to a small saucepan, then add the granulated sugar to the center of the pan. Cook the sugar mixture over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until it is a deep amber, 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter, cream and salt until smooth (be careful, it will sputter). Pour the caramel into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the top. Set aside.
- For the filling: Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
- When the dough has doubled, tip it out onto a very lightly floured work surface. Knead it once or twice to expel the air and then roll it into a 16-by-12-inch rectangle.
- Spread the butter evenly over the surface and sprinkle with the reserved filling and the ginger. Tightly roll up the dough and pinch the top seam closed. With a serrated knife, cut the roll crosswise into 12 equal pieces. Set them in the dish with the topping, spirals facing upward. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rest until the dough has almost doubled again, about 1 hour. They should look pillowy and all of the rolls will be touching.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Uncover the rolls, set a piece of aluminum foil on a lower oven rack to catch any caramel that may drip and bake until deep golden brown and puffed, 25 to 30 minutes. Give the center roll a wiggle--if it's set in place, the buns are ready to come out. If the middle of that center roll feels soft, give them another few minutes. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then carefully cut around the edge with a paring knife and invert the rolls onto a serving plate. Let cool slightly before eating.

PISTACHIO MORNING BUNS
This is a decidedly less-sweet kind of morning bun, topped with a lemony, cardamom-scented sugar for crunch and flavor rather than the typical icing or sticky goo of a cinnamon bun. Unlike most sweet buns, which tend to stale quickly, these stay soft and pillowy long after they cool. The buns are best the day they're baked but will keep, stored airtight at room temperature, for up to 4 days. The recipe time factors in dough preparation. If you already have all-purpose enriched bread dough on hand, this is much swifter work.

Steps:
- Toast the pistachios: Arrange an oven rack in the center position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Scatter the pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, shaking once, until they're golden brown and nutty smelling, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely. Very finely chop the pistachios or crush them beneath a heavy pot, and set aside.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, lemon zest, cardamom and salt, and mix with your fingertips, rubbing in the lemon zest until the mixture is fragrant and well combined. Set aside 1/4 cup of the mixture for sprinkling over the baked buns, then combine the remaining sugar mixture with the chopped pistachios and set aside.
- Combine 1/2 cup butter and the honey in a small saucepan, and warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is combined. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the pans: Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with the remaining tablespoon of room temperature butter, then set the pan aside.
- Roll out the dough: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and uncover. Scrape the dough from the bowl and place on the work surface. Use the heel of your hand to knock out the gas and deflate the risen dough, which will be quite firm. Dust underneath and on top of the dough with a bit of flour, then roll it out into a rectangle measuring about 22 inches long, 12 inches wide, and a scant 1/4 inch thick, dusting with more flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Try to work quickly to prevent the dough from warming, which will make it harder to slice the buns.
- Fill and form the buns: Dust off any excess flour, then brush the entire surface of the dough with all but 3 tablespoons of the honey butter mixture. (Reserve the remaining honey butter mixture for brushing over the baked buns.) Sprinkle the pistachio mixture evenly across the surface, pressing it gently into the dough so it adheres. Starting at one of the longer sides, roll the dough into a tight log. If the dough seems very soft, slide the log onto a baking sheet and chill until firm enough to slice, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a serrated knife to slice off the ends of the log, then cut it crosswise into three even sections. Cut each section into five even pieces, so you have 15 total. Arrange each piece cut side up in the prepared baking dish, forming a 3-by-5 grid.
- Proof the buns: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the buns are all touching, very puffed, and about doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, arrange an oven rack in the center position and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake the buns: Uncover the pan and transfer the buns to the oven. Bake, rotating the pan 180 degrees after 15 minutes, until the buns are golden brown all over, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the reserved honey butter. Sprinkle the reserved sugar mixture evenly over top, then let the buns cool completely in the pan.
- Serve: Use a small serrated knife to cut between the buns and all around the pan, then lift them out one at a time.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
- To make sure the sticky buns are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one of the buns. If the toothpick comes out clean, the buns are done.
- Let the sticky buns cool for a few minutes before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- You can make the sticky buns ahead of time and freeze them. To do this, bake the buns according to the recipe instructions, but do not frost them. Let the buns cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the buns overnight in the refrigerator, then frost them and serve.
