Method
- 1
Dough. In the mixer bowl combine the yeast, sugar, milk and egg, then add the flour and salt and knead on low for 4-5 min, until a ball forms. With the motor running on medium, add the butter a cube at a time and keep kneading about 5 min, until glossy and pulling away from the bowl.

Rise. Shape into a ball in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave 2-2 1/2 h at room temperature, until doubled.

Cranberry butter. Meanwhile cook the cranberries, sugar and water over low heat, stirring now and then, 20-30 min, until the berries collapse and the liquid has cooked away. Cool completely, then beat into the soft butter.

Shape. Roll the dough out 1 cm thick and stamp out 12 rounds, re-rolling the scraps once. Press a shallow crease across each round with the back of a knife, spread a little cranberry butter on one half and fold it over so the top half slightly overhangs.

Prove. Set the rolls on the tray, cover and leave 30-40 min, until puffy. Heat the oven to 190 °C (170 °C fan).

Bake. Bake 15-18 min, until golden; the centre reads 88-90 °C. Brush the tops with a little more cranberry butter and serve warm with the rest alongside.
Storage
Keep rolls in an airtight bag for up to 2 days and rewarm at 180 °C for 5 min. Keep the cranberry butter chilled for up to 1 week. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
