Ingredients
Rolls:
- 1 package active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 1/4 /4 cup warm water
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 /4 cup sugar
- 1/4 /4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus 3/4 cup more as needed
- 1 large egg
Filling:
- 1/2 /2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
Glaze:
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the 1/4 cup warm water. Let it proof for 5 minutes which means it should bubble and foam.
- While yeast is proofing, in a large bowl of a stand mixer, stir milk, sugar, oil, and salt together until sugar is completely dissolved. Add 2 cups of flour and beat well. Add egg and stir in. Add proofed yeast to flour mixture and remaining 1 cup of flour. Dough will be sticky. Take about 3/4 cup of flour and slowly mix in a little at a time until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and is not sticky and is a soft dough. You will not need the entire amount! I usually use around 1/2 to 3/4 cup.
- At this point you can knead with a Kitchen Aid mixer or or place on a floured surface and knead until dough is smooth. Put dough into greased bowl and let the dough rise until double (about an hour) in a warm place.
- For the filling: combine the butter, sugar, and orange zest in a small bowl.
- Roll dough into a rectangle (about 17X12). Spread orange filling over dough. Starting with the long end roll up tightly and slice into 12 rolls. Place rolls cut side down in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Cover and let rolls rise a second time, at least 1 hour, in a warm place.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-14 minutes or until tops are just turning golden brown. Do not overbake!
- While rolls are baking prepare the glaze. For the glaze: Mix together softened butter, powdered sugar, orange juice, and zest (if using). Add more juice or powdered sugar to your desired consistency. Brush glaze on baked rolls while still warm.
