- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cranberries (fresh or dried)
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

- Warm the milk in a saucepan until it's just warm to the touch. In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm milk; let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in melted butter and egg until smooth.
- Gradually add flour one cup at a time, kneading until smooth (about 8-10 minutes).
