Roll out on a floured board until it is 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick and about 12x15
long.
Spread with some of the frosting ...more is not better...
your rolls will swim in it.
Just spread a thin layer.

Cut into pieces 1" wide.
Place rolls in a greased 9x13 rectangle pan.
Cover and let rise to double in bulk.
Bake in a 375 oven for about 15 - 20 minutes.
Watch them closely so they don't burn.
Cool And frost.
for the orange frosting:
1 lb powdered confectioners sugar
6 - 8 tbsp. softened butter
1/2 small (6oz.) can orange juice concentrate
zest of 2 oranges
(use a fine grater or a zester to grate the orange peel.)
Beat sugar, butter and juice concentrate until creamy.
Fold in the zest by hand.
Start out with 6 tbsp of butter and the juice concentrate
( DO NOT ADD WATER)
If it is to stiff, add a little more of the juice concentrate,
you don't want it runny, but you don't want it too stiff either.
If you want it to be more orangey add a little more orange
concentrate, but don't get it too thin.
