1. Place the water, oil, salt, sugar, flours, milk and yeast into the mixing bowl. Using the dough hook attachment, knead on speed 1 for 2 minutes. Remove dough from the mixing bowl, shape into a ball and place into a large glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place into a warm, draught-free place to rise for 1 ½ hours or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat a fan forced oven to 180°C and line 2 baking trays with canola oil spray and baking paper.
3. Place dough ball back into the mixing bowl and add cinnamon, all spice, walnuts and cranberries. Using the dough hook, knead on speed 1 for a further 2 minutes.
4. Cut the dough ball into 12 even sized portions and shape into balls. Place onto the prepared baking trays, roughly 3cm apart and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
5. Brush the rolls with butter and then sprinkle with brown sugar and place into the oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool until warm and serve with butter
