Ingredients - Serves 12
- Freshly squeezed orange juice - 2 tablespoons
- Powdered sugar - 1 cup
- Ground cinnamon - 1 tablespoon
- Orange zest - 2 tablespoons
- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter - 1/4 cup, melted
- Granulated sugar - 1/4 cup
- Warm milk - 1 cup
- Active dry yeast - 2 1/4 teaspoons
- All-purpose flour - 3 cups
Let's Get Started
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, warm milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, and orange zest. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle shape on a floured surface.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough.
- Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
- Cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
