Cranberry Walnut Rolls Re-make / Weekly Recap

October 28, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Sunday!  I’m writing my post early because I am not sure what the plans are for Saturday and I want to be sure to have a post for you!!  It’s been over 13 months and I haven’t missed a post yet!!  🙂  Today I have for you a recipe re-make of one of my all time favorite yeast rolls, Cranberry Walnut Rolls.

These are my favorite, favorite fall rolls to make.  There slightly sweet, perfect with fall dishes and my new recipe makes them fewer calories, lighter and fluffier then my previous recipe.  The difference in these rolls is that I used Vital Wheat Gluten and made the rolls smaller.  I went from 184 calories down to 138 calories.  Yah!!


I like to make a dozen rolls, and then I freeze them.  When I want a roll, I microwave it for 20 seconds then pop it right into the oven for a few minutes!!  One thing I love to do is freeze bread!  If I leave them out, I’ll eat them all!!  I have no self control when comes to bread or cookies!!!   I am truly a carb lover!!!  At least these rolls are made with wheat, which is healthier then just plain white!

These rolls are so easy to make!  Don’t let bread making scare you off!  It’s so rewarding when you take flour and it turns into bread, it’s like magic!  I made this batch in my stand mixer, but I have also made them by hand which is just as easy!  If you like bread you must make this recipe!  I promise it’s easy!!  If I can make bread, so can you!!

A sweet wheat roll made with dried cranberries and walnuts.
Serves: 12 Rolls
Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups bread flour
  • ¼ cup vital wheat gluten
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 Tbsp butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup water, lukewarm
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tsp fine cane sugar
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup walnuts, toasted
  • ¼ cup dry cranberries
Instructions
  1. To toast the nuts, preheat your oven at 400 F.
  2. Place them on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove to let them cool and chop coarsely.
  4. Sprinkle the yeast on top of 4 Tbsp lukewarm water and leave to froth for 5 minutes.
  5. In a bowl, place the flour. Add the salt and sugar and mix together.
  6. Add the butter cut in pieces and mix.
  7. Make a well in the middle and pour the yeast. Mix with the tip of your fingers.
  8. Slowly add the rest of the water. Knead the dough with the palm of your hand until it is elastic and forms a ball.
  9. Cover and let rise in a warm part of the house, until it doubles in size, about an hour.
  10. Add the nuts and cranberries and knead the dough again.
  11. Form small bread rolls into 2 oz. (about 10 or 112, depending on the size, they will rise). Place them on a baking sheet and cover again to let rise for 30 minutes.
  12. Preheat your oven at 410 F.
  13. Brush the rolls with some water and place in the oven for 20 minutes or so. The rolls are ready when they have a nice golden color and sound hollow when tapped with your finger.
  14. Remove and let them cool on a cooling rack.

Here is this weeks weekly recap

Monday:  Wally’s Beef Chili / Food Buzz Event – This chili is fantastic   It’s hearty, thick and full of flavor and not very spicy!!  This is one dish I will let my Husband make again and again!  Ok, I made it this time around, but it is his recipe.  He appreciates all the nice comments you left.  It made his day!

Tuesday:   French Bread Pizza Sandwich – This was my last post for the Emeril Lagasse’s Kicked Up Sandwiches   I love french bread pizza and I love the idea that Emeril stole from me about carving out the bread and stuffing it with your filling.  OK, he didn’t get that idea from me, but either way it’s a great way to save on calories and carbs, unless your filling it with pepperoni and cheese!

Wednesday:  Skinny Vanilla Latte – I love this coffee drink.  In three minutes you have a frothy, light latte, that I think is better than Starbucks!!!  It beats leaving the house to get one!!  Plus it saves you a little cash!

Thursday:  Beef Stew in Crockpot – I said it in my post, but I have to say it again, this is by far the best Beef Stew that I have made!  The tomato sauce I added was perfect in it!!  After my Foodbuzz event I was really craving hearty meals!!  Now that the weekend is here, I’m craving sweets!!  I must stop that!!

Friday:  Skinny Chocolate Cheesecake – Oh my gosh!  These are little bites of chocolate heaven!  I am so impressed with these cheesecakes, that I want to make them again!!  The best description I can give you is that there like a chocolate mousse with a hint of cheesecake flavor.  If you’re a chocolate fan, you HAVE to make these!!!

One more picture, because they are just that good!!!

Saturday:  Pumpkin Crumble Bars – These are bars are also very delish!!  There a combination of an oatmeal granola bar and a crisp topping.  I found there best refrigerated so they firm up and not fall apart!!  I was shocked, but they were a hit at work.  I didn’t tell anyone there gluten-free and vegan!!  he he  Let’s keep that between us!

That is it for this past week!!  Stay tuned this coming week, I have my biggest giveaway yet!  I’m so excited to share it with you!  The best clue I can give you is it’s something that I love that is not Peanut Butter!!

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Pancake Popovers.  I have been wanting chocolate and I think having them in pancake form is the best way to go!!!  There rich, chocolaty and healthy!!

    I frequently buy cranberry walnut bread from Whole Foods, but you’ve convinced me I can make a delicious version at home! Looks fantastic, Jen! Did you sign up for the Cookie Exchange again this year? I’m still debating…but then I remember that It’s how I met you nearly 1 year ago 🙂

      Hi Liz! I did enter the Cookie Exchange this year! You must join it! Three lucky people would get a chance to try one of your baked goods. I thought of you today! I was cleaning out my linen closet and saw the “Joy” Christmas tea towel you gave me! Join the exchange, maybe I’ll be lucky enough to get you again!!

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

🌸
I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
🌻
My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?
