Cranberry Yeast Rolls
I’ve got the perfect addition to your holiday menu today and you’re going to L-O-V-E how easy it is! I am a HUGE fan of yeast rolls. I grew up on yeast rolls and man when they are baking, my mouth starts to water and my tummy gets ready.
No one in my family is even remotely capable of resisting any form of yeast roll and this year I’m going to surprise them with these beauties.
The rolls only need to rise for 30 minutes, saving time in the kitchen.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!
Make these rolls the day before if you’d like, they hold up beautifully. Just pop them in the oven for 3 minutes to warm them up and you’re good to go! Everyone will love that bright pop of color from the cranberries making these rolls extra hard to resist.
I get 24 rolls from this recipe but if you’d like to make them larger, I’d aim for about 18. I think this size is really perfect, especially for holiday meals, because there is already so much going on your plate.
Serve with butter or plain – you really can’t go wrong! I truly hope you add these easy cranberry yeast rolls to your holiday menu!
