Ingredients
- 13.8 ounces refrigerated pizza dough (recommend Pillsbury classic pizza dough)
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 oranges (zest only)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray the baking pan or dish with cooking spray.
- Zest the oranges and set it aside.
- Melt the butter.
- Open the pizza dough and gently roll it out into a rectangle.
- Brush half of the melted butter onto the pizza dough rectangle.
- Add the cranberries, brown sugar, and orange zest to a food processor or blender. Pulse until the cranberries are coarsely chopped.
- Spread the cranberry mixture evenly onto the pizza dough rectangle, covering all the way to the edge.
- Roll the dough into a log starting on a long edge.
- Cut the log into 9 even pieces using a sharp knife. Place the rolls into the prepared 9x9-inch baking pan. Brush rolls with the remaining butter.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before topping with glaze.
- To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Glaze rolls just before serving.

Notes
- I recommend Pillsbury brand, regular (not thin) pizza crust for this recipe.
- This recipe can be made the day before and stored covered in the fridge until you're ready to bake. Let the rolls come to room temperature before popping them in the oven.
- Store at room temperature in a sealed container for 2 to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. To reheat, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake them for about 10 minutes, or until warm. To freeze, store the completely cooled sweet rolls in an airtight container for two months. To reheat, allow the rolls to thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat the same as above.
