Instructions
MAKE THE DOUGH
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the dough attachment, mix together the flour and the yeast.
- With the mixer on medium speed, add the warmed milk and melted butter (that's cooled slightly) to flour/yeast mixture. Next add in the sour cream, sugar, salt, and egg.
- Beat at medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, approximately 5 minutes (Dough should pull away from sides of the bowl, but still stick to the bottom).
- Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the dough in prepared bowl, turning to coat top.
- Cover, and let rise in a warm draft-free place until the dough has about doubled in size, approximately 1 to 2 hours (seen note).
PREPARE THE SWEET ROLLS
- Spray a 9-inch round pan (2 inches in height works well) with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Lightly punch down the prepared dough and on a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14"x10" rectangle.
- Spread the softened butter (6 tablespoons) evenly over dough.
- In a small bowl, stir together sugar (⅔ cup) and zest (2 tablespoons) then sprinkle over butter.
- Starting on one long side, roll dough into a log.
- Slice into 9 to 10 rolls.
- Place rolls in prepared pan.
- Cover, and let rise in a warm draft-free place until almost doubled in sized, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, approximately 30 minutes.
- Let cool in pan on a wire rack for about 10 to 15 minutes.
MAKE THE ICING AND FINISH THE ROLLS
- In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining 1 teaspoon zest, confectioners' sugar, and orange juice until smooth.
- Drizzle and smear icing over warm rolls.
Notes
- If using active dry yeast in place of rapid rise, simply allow the dough to rise a little longer. There are multiple factors that will cause the time for the dough to rise to vary from time to time. It may only take 1 hour for the dough to double in size, but it could take up to 3 hours.
- IMPORTANT: Don't add really hot milk and melted butter to the flour/yeast mixture. If you do, it will kill the yeast and the dough won't rise. We recommend using an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature. Neither the milk or the melted butter should be over 100° to 105° F.
- The dough can be prepared the night before. Instead of letting it rise in a warm, draft-free area, simply cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
- If you don't have a zester or micro-plane, you can rub the skin of the oranges against the small blades on the side of a box cutter.
