Instructions
- Make dough: In a small bowl, add water, yeast and sugar. Let rest for 5 minutes, until foamy on top. In a large mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook, add eggs, butter, salt, flour and yeast mixture.
- Knead the dough with your mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes. Cover bowl with a towel and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Knead dough again for 3 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Knead dough one more time for three minutes. Let rest again for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 3 balls. Lightly flour your counter-top and roll each dough ball out into a 15''x8'' rectangle.
- Make filling: Mix 1/2 cup softened butter with 1/2 cup sugar and the zest of 2 oranges. Spread this mixture evenly over the three rectangles of bread dough.
- Roll-up each rectangle lengthwise into a long tube (similar to how you would roll cinnamon rolls). Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the dough into 1 1/2'' sections.
- Put each small dough round into a greased muffin tin. (You could also lay them in a greased baking dish, like cinnamon rolls, but we always make them in muffin tins!)
- Cover dough lightly with greased piece of plastic wrap and allow dough to rise once more, for 30 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with glaze.
- Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, orange zest and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over warm orange rolls.
- Orange rolls are best enjoyed fresh, the day they are made. Store leftoevers in an air-tight container for 1-3 days, or freeze.
Notes
- To Make Ahead: Make the roll dough and instead of kneading and resting, knead with a mixer for 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a well greased large bowl. Cover bowl with a lid or tightly with greased plastic wrap and refrigerate for several house or overnight. Remove from fridge allow to rest on counter for 1 hour before rolling out dough and adding filling.
- To Freeze: Allow the rolls to cool completely after cooking (before topping with glaze). Place in a ziplock freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave the muffins for 15-20 seconds and top with fresh orange glaze.
