Recipe Introduction

"Is there a better way to start the day than with sunny Florida citrus? We don't think so either. Homemade orange rolls are a charter member of the Southern bread basket hall of fame. Every recipe has its own special twist, and this one just happens to turn out tender, buttery spirals with a hint of cinnamon and a perfectly gooey sweet orange marmalade center."

List of Ingredients

◦  1 cup warm milk (105° to 115° F)
◦  1 (¼-ounce) package active dry yeast
◦  1 cup sugar
◦  4 cups all-purpose flour
◦  ¼ cup plus â…“ cup butter, melted
◦  1 teaspoon salt
◦  1 teaspoon orange zest
◦  2 large eggs, lightly beaten
◦  Vegetable cooking spray
◦  ⅔ cup orange marmalade
◦  ¾ tablespoon ground cinnamon

Glaze:
◦  1 cup powdered sugar
◦  2 tablespoon butter, melted
◦  1½ tablespoon milk
◦  ¼ teaspoon orange extract


Recipe

Combine the milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a 1-cup glass measuring cup, stirring to dissolve yeast; let stand 5 minutes.

Combine the flour, ¼ cup of the butter, salt, orange zest, eggs, and 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar in bowl of heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Add the milk mixture; beat at low speed 1 to 2 minutes or until blended, using the dough hook attachment. Increase speed to medium-low and beat 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth (dough will be soft and slightly sticky). Place the dough in a greased bowl; lightly greased top of dough with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place (80° to 85° F), free from drafts, 45 minutes to 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.

Combine the marmalade, remaining â…“ cup butter, cinnamon, and remaining ¾ cup sugar in a small bowl.

Punch the dough down. Turn out a light floured surface; roll into a 15- x 12-inch rectangle (about ¼ inch thick). Spread the marmalade mixture over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, starting at 1 long side. Cut the dough into 15 (1-inch thick) slices, and place in a well-greased 13- x 9-inch pan with sides touching. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or until almost doubled in bulk.

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Uncover the rolls, and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven, and cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
