Yield Makes 12 pastries

Number Of Ingredients 22

For dough
1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F)
2 (1/4-oz) packages active dry yeast (5 teaspoons)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
5 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup warm milk
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
For filling
1/4 cup water
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
2 cups fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (9 oz)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, very soft
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup walnuts (optional), chopped
For glaze
1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Special Equipment
a standing electric mixer fitted with dough hook; 2 (9- by 2-inch) round cake pans

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Stir together warm water, yeast, and a pinch of the sugar in a small bowl and let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over.)
  • Put 5 cups flour, salt, and remaining sugar in bowl of electric mixer and mix with dough hook at low speed until combined. Whisk together milk and eggs in a small bowl, then add to dry ingredients along with yeast, beating at low speed until flour is incorporated. Beat at medium speed until a very soft dough forms, about 2 minutes. Add butter and continue beating at medium speed until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic, about 4 minutes (it will be quite sticky).
  • Rinse a large bowl with hot water. Add dough to wet bowl and cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Prepare filling:
  • Bring water and 1 cup granulated sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and simmer just until they begin to burst, about 2 minutes. Pour through a large sieve into a bowl and cool berries, reserving syrup for another use (such as a flavoring for seltzer).
  • Form and bake buns:
  • Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and dust with flour, then roll out into a 16-inch square.
  • Brush off excess flour, then spread evenly with butter with a small metal offset spatula.
  • Stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and sprinkle evenly over dough. Dot dough evenly with drained cranberries, then sprinkle with nuts if using.
  • Beginning with side nearest you, roll up dough, firmly but not tightly, into a log, then pinch seam to seal. Trim 1 inch off each end with a large knife and discard, then cut log crosswise into 12 slices.
  • Arrange slices, cut sides up, in buttered cake pans (place 1 slice in center of each pan, then evenly space 5 more around it). Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F while buns are rising.
  • Bake buns in lower third of oven until puffed and golden, 30 to 35 minutes, then cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes.
  • Make glaze:
  • Stir together confectioners sugar and milk with a fork until smooth. Drizzle over buns while still hot.
  • Serve buns warm or at room temperature.

CRANBERRY, CINNAMON, AND BROWN SUGAR STEEL CUT OATS



Cranberry, Cinnamon, and Brown Sugar Steel Cut Oats image

I love instant oatmeal 'raisins and spice' flavor, but I wanted better oats, so this is my own twist. This recipe is not 'quick,' but if you make this large amount, you can refrigerate in small storage containers for a quick and easy snack or meal. This oatmeal taste great hot but even tastes good cold when you are on the go.

1 dash salt
1 cup whole milk
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup dried cranberries

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tart cranberries. Avoid cranberries that are mushy or have soft spots.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cranberries. This will help prevent them from bruising.
  • Coat the cranberries in a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and salt. This will help them to caramelize in the oven.
  • Spread the cranberries in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Bake the cranberries at a low temperature for 30-45 minutes. This will help them to dry out and become crunchy.
  • Let the cranberries cool completely before storing them. This will help them to retain their crunch.

Conclusion:

Crunchy cranberry cinnamon snacks are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed all year round. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are also a good source of fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied. Crunchy cranberry cinnamon snacks are a great way to add a healthy crunch to your diet.
