FAQ:

1. Can I make these rolls in advance? Yes! You can assemble the rolls, place them on the baking sheet, cover them, and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. Just let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before baking.

2. Can I use fresh cranberries instead of cranberry sauce? Yes, you can cook fresh cranberries with a little sugar and water until they break down into a sauce-like consistency, and use that in place of the canned cranberry sauce.

3. Are these rolls sweet or savory? These rolls have a perfect balance of sweetness from the cranberry and orange zest, with the buttery, flaky dough providing a savory base. They make a great addition to both sweet and savory meals.

4. Can I freeze these rolls? Yes, you can freeze the unbaked rolls for later use. Simply assemble the rolls, place them on a baking sheet, freeze them until solid, and then store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. When you’re ready to bake, just bake from frozen, adding an extra 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
