Instructions
In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook or paddle attachment, combine the flour and yeast. Set to the side for the moment.
In a large saucepan, combine the butter, milk, granulated sugar, salt, and 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce. Stir over medium heat until the butter is melted and the milk is warm.
Add the warm milk mixture to the bowl of the stand mixer.
Mix on low speed for just about a minute, until incorporated.
Add the eggs. Continue to mix on low for about 6 minutes, or until the dough is shiny and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Transfer the dough to an oiled or buttered large bowl, and cover with a towel. Allow to rise in a warm spot for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9- by 13-inch pan, or two 8-inch cake pans.
Remove the dough from the bowl and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 18- by 14- inches).
Remove the remaining cranberry sauce from the can. Separate 2 tablespoons (you'll use that for the glaze). Now, spread all the rest (most of the can) on top of the dough.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top of the cranberry sauce.
Carefully roll the dough into a long roulade type log, starting on the long end.
Use a large, sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Place the dough into the greased pan or pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the buns are browned on top and not sticky in the center. If you're in doubt, either insert a wooden skewer to test, or remove one pan from the oven and lift one of the rolls using a small spatula. It shouldn't be sticky on the bottom.
Remove from the oven. While the buns cool, make the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, milk, and butter. Once the butter is melted, remove from heat.
Whisk in the confectioners' sugar.
Once the buns have cooled, add the glaze.
