Step 1

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir together with a whisk then let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Meanwhile combine flour, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Add the eggs to the milk mixture and whisk until combined.

Step 4

With the mixer running on low, add the flour mixture. Increase speed to medium and mix until the dough comes together, about 1 minute.

Step 5

With the mixer running on medium, add butter, one piece at a time. Add the orange zest.

Step 6

Continue to mix for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and comes away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough is still wet after 10 minutes, add one or two tablespoons flour until the dough comes away from the sides.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough into a smooth ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, put it in a warm place and let rise until doubled in size, about 1.5-2 hours.

Step 8

Meanwhile make the cranberry jam: Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer gently for about 15 minutes, until most of the cranberries have burst open. Let cool completely.

Step 9

Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 18x18 inch rectangle. Spread the cooled cranberry jam on top, leaving a 1-inch border.

Step 10

Starting with the edge nearest you, roll dough into tight cylinder, pinch lightly to seal seam, and cut into 12 pieces with a sharp knife.

Step 11

Arrange rolls in a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. (Or refrigerate overnight, see instructions above.)

Step 12

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 13

Discard plastic wrap and bake rolls until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Then transfer pan to a wire rack.

Step 14

Make the glaze: Whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest together until smooth. Drizzle or spread over warm rolls. Serve.
