Ingredients

For the dough

• 15 g fresh yeast
• 375 ml lukewarm water
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 550-600 g flour, half wholemeal
• 1 tsp salt
• 40 g coconut oil

For the filling

• 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
• 1/2 cup sugar, or another granulated sweetener
• 1 orange, juice and zest
• 60 ml water
• 1 cup sour cherries, from a compote

Instructions

For the dough

1. 1.In a large bowl, mix the warm water and sugar and crumble the yeast into it. Wait 10 minutes for the yeast to rise to the surface and start to foam.
2. 2.Heat the coconut oil until liquid and stir it into the yeast.
3. 3.Gradually add 400 g of the flour and the salt, stirring constantly. The dough will be quite sticky at this point.
4. 4.Cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. 5.Add the remaining flour and knead for approx. 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and leave to rise for another approx. 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the cranberry sauce.

Cranberry sauce

1. 6.Chop the cranberries. Put all the ingredients except the sour cherries into a small saucepan and place over the heat.
2. 7.Once the mixture comes to the boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer gently for approx. 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. 8.Let the cranberry sauce cool, then stir in the sour cherries from the compote.

For the rolls

1. 9.Line a large baking tray with baking paper or grease it (optional).
2. 10.Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the sauce over the top of the dough.
3. 11.Roll the dough up as tightly as possible into a long log, then cut it into 9-12 rounds.
4. 12.Place the rolls on the baking tray, leaving some space between them, as they will still rise. If you like, you can cover the rolls with a tea towel and leave them to rise for a further 30-50 minutes, but this isn't necessary.
5. 13.Preheat the oven to 180°C. If you like, you can brush the rolls with a few drops of oil before baking, but this isn't necessary. Bake for about 30-40 minutes.
6. 14.Let the rolls cool slightly, then serve them with a sugar glaze.
