Delicious homemade orange sweet rolls topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup warm whole milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for yeast activation)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup softened unsalted butter (for filling)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (for filling)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (for glaze)
Instructions
- Warm the milk to about 110°F and combine with yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let it sit until foamy (5–10 minutes).
- In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast mixture, 1/4 cup sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs until a shaggy dough forms. Knead until smooth (8–10 minutes).
- Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1 to 1 hours until doubled.
- Mix softened butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon orange zest in a small bowl for the filling.
- Roll dough into a 14×9 inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly, then roll and slice into 12 rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased 9×13 dish. Let rise again 30–45 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22–25 minutes until lightly golden.
- Make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, orange juice, and zest. Drizzle over warm rolls.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is not too hot to prevent killing the yeast.
- The dough can be prepared the night before and refrigerated to rise slowly.
