Instructions

  1. In a pan, scald the butter and whole milk. Do not bring it to a boil. Take it off the heat and set aside.
  2. In a separate container, combine warm water, yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set it aside and move on to the next step.
  3. In a stand mixer with a dough hook, add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of salt. Give a quick mix with the hook, then add 1 cup of flour and mix again to barely combine it. Add the cooled milk/butter to the mixer and mix on low then add another 1 cup of flour.
  4. While it's mixing, add the foamy yeast mixture. Then slowly add the remaining flour about 5-5 1/2 cups.
  5. Let it knead on medium speed for the next 5 minutes until the dough is a nice elastic and not as sticky.
  6. Oil a large bowl and coat the dough in the oil on the top, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour.
  7. Zest the two oranges and juice them into a bowl. Add sugar and melted stick of butter. Stir.
  8. Spread out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  9. Spread half of the orange mixture onto the rectangle dough.
  10. Pour the other half onto a greased baking sheet and spread evenly.
  11. Roll the dough up length wise, and cut out the orange roll 1 inch thick. It will be a bit messy, but will taste and still look amazing.
  12. Place the 1 inch rolls into prepared pan and loosely cover with oiled plastic wrap. Let them rise for 30 min then preheat your oven to 350.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they are a golden brown.

Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add powdered sugar and orange zest and beat with mixer until smooth. Mix in the orange juice last 1 tablespoon at a time to reach the best consistency.
  3. Spread slightly warmed or cooled orange rolls.

Notes

  • Because there is a delicious orange glaze on the bottom of the pan, you may choose to serve these rolls plain. However, the orange cream cheese frosting over the top makes these rolls extra sweet.
  • If you want to try more of a plain frosting over the top, try our cream cheese frosting recipe. Spread it over the top as you would cinnamon rolls.
