Method
- Mix the flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Add the yeast and mix well with a whisk.
- Melt the margarine, milk and water together in the microwave. Allow to cool down to lukewarm.
- Add the liquid and the egg to the dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough, but not sticky.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with greased plastic and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Filling: Combine the softened margarine with the cinnamon, cranberries and the grated white chocolate and fold into the margarine mixture.
- Knock the dough down and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 25 x 17 cm rectangle.
Spread an even layer of the filling onto the dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly to create a spiral roll and seal the end with your fingertips. Cut the roll into 8 equal slices.
- Evenly space the rolls onto a lightly greased tray and cover with greased plastic.
- Allow to rise in a warm place until double in volume, about 30 – 35 minutes.
- Remove the greased plastic and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C / 350 °F for 15 – 20 minutes.
- Icing: combine icing sugar, vanilla essence and water and mix until smooth – set aside.
- Remove the bake from the oven and place onto a cooling rack. Drizzle icing over the top of the spirals and serve warm.
