Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Dough hook
  • Sharp serrated knife

Ingredients
  

Rolls

  • 1 3/4 cups warm water
  • 2 Tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large oranges zested

Orange Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest from fresh orange
  • 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Mix ½ cup softened butter with ½ 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.
  • 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.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, orange zest and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over warm orange rolls.

Notes

Orange rolls are best enjoyed fresh, the day they are made. Store leftoevers in an air-tight container for 1-3 days, or freeze.
