I like the texture and nutrition of potato rolls and the taste of orange-cranberry bread, so I combined them in these yummy breakfast biscuits. Dotted with dried cranberries and drizzled with a sweet glaze, these tender treats are a family favorite. -Debra Fulenwider, Colfax, California

Ingredients

1-2/3 cups warm whole milk (70° to 80°)
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup mashed potato flakes
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
4 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 cup dried cranberries
ORANGE GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice
3 tablespoons chopped dried cranberries, optional

Directions

In bread machine pan, place the first 10 ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). Just before final kneading (your machine may audibly signal this), add cranberries.
When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Roll or pat to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 40 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. For glaze, combine confectioners' sugar and enough orange juice to achieve a glaze consistency. Drizzle over warm biscuits. Sprinkle with chopped cranberries if desired.
