Instructions
For dough
- Add the warm water, light brown sugar, and yeast to a large bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes, or until the yeast has bloomed and is foamy on top.
- Next add the butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix to combine. Add the flour and gently mix the dough until it forms a shaggy ball.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 3-5 minutes, or until it is smooth and bounces back when lightly poked.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and set it in a warm place to rise until doubled in size (about 90 minutes).
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling (below).
- When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a ¼” thick rectangle (approximately 15” long and 12” wide).
- Spread the orange-cinnamon filling over the dough and roll it tightly into a log. Pinch the seam together to seal the log shut. Slice the log into 1” thick rounds.
- Grease a 9x13 pan with butter or nonstick baking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in the pan cut side up and press them down slightly until they are 1” tall.
- Set the pan in a warm place to rise for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven. While the rolls rise, preheat the oven to 350F.
- When the oven is ready, bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool slightly while you make the frosting (below).
For filling
- In a medium bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, orange zest, and nutmeg. Set aside until ready to use.
For frosting
- Add the softened cream cheese to a large bowl and beat it with a hand mixer until light and fluffy (about 1 minute). You can also use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment if you prefer.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, followed by orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla.
- Continue to mix on medium speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cinnamon rolls and enjoy immediately.
