Ingredients

1 cup nonfat milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon yeast, about 1 package
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, divided
1/4 cup unpacked brown sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon orange zest, grated
1/4 1/4 cup dried cherries or 1/4 cup cranberries

Preparation

Stir together milk, vegetable oil, sugar and salt in a small saucepan.
Heat to lukewarm.
Pour yeast over 2 tablespoons lukewarm water and let sit 5 minutes.
Stir into milk mixture.
Transfer warm milk to a large mixing bowl and beat in half the flour by hand or with an electric mixer.
Mix in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Let rest 10 minutes; knead well on a floured board or with an electric mixer and dough hook; let rest 10 minutes.
Spray a large, clean bowl with cooking spray, add dough, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Lightly coat a 9-inch round baking pan with cooking spray.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll into a 12 x 10-inch rectangle.
Spray with cooking spray.
Stir together brown sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest; brush over dough.
Sprinkle with raisins.
Roll up tightly, like a jelly roll.
Cut into 12 pieces.
Place buns cut-side up in baking pan.
Cover with plastic and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Bake buns until firm and nicely browned on top, 30 minutes.
Cool completely before inverting onto a serving plate.
No guilt!
