How to Make Orange Cranberry Twists:
If you’re one who likes the feel of making bread, you’ll enjoy assembling these pastries. They begin with an orange-scented yeast dough with dried cranberries mixed in. The dough is lovingly kneaded and left to rise and rest. The dough is divided in half and rolled out. A simple, sweet orange filling is spread onto each half of the dough.
After filling, the rolled out dough is folded in half and strips are cut. A little twist to each strip, and they’re placed that way on the baking sheet. Fresh out of the oven, the twists are drizzled lightly with a simple, sugary orange glaze.
These Orange Cranberry Twists are so pretty to display for a special breakfast or brunch. They do take a bit of effort, but if you love being in the kitchen creating things like this then I say they’re worth the effort. I personally get so much satisfaction out of baking beautiful pastries! Think about Christmas morning. How pretty would these be with coffee and fruit?
