Are you done with turkey yet? If not, there are probably a lot more turkey recipes out there. I am going to take a break from turkey this week. With Christmas coming up real soon, you may want to consider these beautiful rolls for your next holiday table.

Cranberry Walnut Rolls

The health food store I go to makes these Cranberry Walnut Rolls every day. They are very popular and are often sold out around the holidays. So as not to be disappointed, I decided to make them myself this time.

Fortunately, I had all the ingredients on hand and so I put the bread machine to work using a basic bridge rolls recipe. I omitted the eggs but added dried cranberries and chopped walnuts to the dough. The rolls turned out beautifully. They were very tasty served warm with butter. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

    Hi Biren,
    These buns are lovely, are they hard ? I noticed that no egg or oil but with only 55 gm of butter. Very often home made bread are harder than the one sold in bakery or supermarket. I often steam it before I eat them !! As you know Malaysian loves soft bread !! I baked the Apple Honey Challah from other blog, they were lovely. Will try yours when I finish the Challah as I wanted to eat more home baked bread — chemical free and cheaper !!
    Thanks for sharing your recipe.

      No, these buns are not hard at all but they do have more chew and texture as compared to the super soft white bread. Actually, I find store bought bread a little too soft (except for tea sandwiches) and so I make most of my bread at home. Homemade breads require very few ingredients and no preservatives and that is a good thing. 🙂 Glad to hear your challah turned out well. My regular breads only uses 2 tablespoons (28g) of butter. Buns and hand shaped loaves usually have more butter in them.
