Whole-Wheat Cranberry Dinner Rolls

Combine cranberries and sugar in a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon of the thyme and the ginger.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dust work surface lightly with flour. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a 12-inch-long rope. Tie each dough rope into a loose knot, leaving two long ends. Tuck top end under knot and bottom end into top center of the knot. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the cranberry mixture into the center of each knot. Place knots 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (30 to 60 minutes).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon thyme in a small bowl. Brush butter-thyme mixture over tops of rolls. Bake about 18 minutes or until golden brown.
