Recipe by: St. Louis Post-Dispatch 3/24/97 Lightly oil a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking sheet. On floured board or counter, roll out dough into a 16-by-12-inch rectangle. Mix cranberries, nuts and maple syrup in small bowl; spread evenly over dough, leaving a ½-inch margin on all sides.

Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over filling. With long side facing you, roll up dough jellyroll fashion; pinch edges and ends together. Slice into 12 sections with sharp serrated knife.

Place cinnamon rolls, cut sides down, on prepared baking sheet. Cover with clean dish towel and let rise in warm place 45 minutes.
