Looking for a holiday baking project that will look stunning and taste even better? Meet this cranberry-orange star bread. Filled with homemade cranberry sauce and effortlessly twisted into a visually intricate shape, this soft, fragrant, sweet bread will delight friends and family everywhere.
Star bread is magical because, although it looks incredibly impressive (and therefore difficult to make!), it’s actually very easy. Rolling the dough out into circles and sandwiching them with homemade cranberry sauce builds the layers that produce those brilliant red spirals when the bread is shaped. And cutting the filled dough circle into equal “sun ray” slices, then twisting the adjacent slices before pinching their ends together creates that stunning star design.

Why are we rubbing the orange zest into the sugar?
Rubbing zest into sugar by hand helps to release the essential oils in the zest, amplifying the citrus flavor in the finished bread. Also, it will make you smell like citrus for the rest of the day—and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Can I use canned cranberry sauce?
We prefer to make our own cranberry sauce, since that gives us more control over the filling’s texture and sweetness. (Also, it takes literally 5 minutes.) But in a pinch, you could definitely use canned.
How long will this bread last?
While this bread tastes best when it’s freshly baked, you can make it the day before and store it in an airtight container overnight. If you’re baking it the day before, wait to dust with powdered sugar until right before you serve it. Leftovers will also keep, stored in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
