Best Orange Sweet Rolls Recipes

ORANGE SWEET ROLLS

Steps:

• For the dough: In a large saucepan over a low heat, heat the milk, oil and granulated sugar until warm but not hot (if you have a candy thermometer, it should be 125 degrees F). Add the yeast and 4 cups of the flour and stir together. Cover the pan and leave to rise for at least an hour. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• For the filling: Roll the dough into a long rectangle, about 30 inches wide by 10 inches deep. You'll want it to be as thin as you can get it so you can add plenty of goo. Drizzle the melted butter all over the surface of the dough. Use your fingers to smear it all around so that it coats evenly.
• Spread the orange marmalade all over the buttered dough, distributing as evenly as you can. Sprinkle plenty of brown sugar all over the marmalade. Finish with a light sprinkling of salt to offset the sweetness.
• Using both hands in a back-and-forth motion, gradually roll the dough towards you into one long log. Pinch the seam to seal it. Then slice the log-o'-dough into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the rolls in a buttered baking dish and allow them to rise for 20 minutes.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
• While the rolls are baking, make the icing: Add the orange zest and juice to a bowl. Add the powdered sugar and salt. Splash in the milk. And some more melted butter because the recipe doesn't already have enough. Just kidding on that last part. Whisk it together until it's nice and smooth and lovely. Your kitchen smells like oranges!
• Pull the rolls out of the oven when they're golden brown, and drizzle on the icing right off the bat. The piping hot rolls will suck that gorgeous icing right down into their crevices and the whole thing pretty much becomes a miracle. Serve them warm.

Cup your hand over 1 piece and, using your thumb and pinkie to keep ball inside your cupped hand, push dough with heel of your hand against work surface while rolling in a circular motion (clockwise or counterclockwise) to form a smooth ball. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough, arranging balls 1 inch apart on baking sheet.

ORANGE SWEET ROLLS WITH ORANGE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Note: I warm the buttermilk in the microwave, on low power in 15 second bursts. You want it to be warm, but not boiling hot (about 100°F) Dough: Whisk the warmed buttermilk and butter together in a large liquid measuring cup. Combine 4 cups of flour*, sugar, yeast and salt together in a standing mixer fitted with dough hook (or you can use a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon or electric handheld mixer). *I only use King Arthur Flour unbleached flour. I use the bread flour, because it has more gluten. With the mixer on low speed, add the buttermilk mixture and eggs and Buttery Sweet Dough Emulsion* (if using)and mix until the dough comes together, about 2 minutes. Increase the mixer to medium speed and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes (knead for 15 to18 minutes by hand). If after 5 minutes of kneading, the dough is still overly sticky, add 1/4 cup flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough clears the sides of the bowl but has a slight tacky feel when pressed between your fingertips. Place the dough in a large, lightly greased bowl and cover the top tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled, around 2 to 2 1/2 hours, depending on the warmth of your kitchen. Tip: I turn my oven to WARM for 2 minutes. then turn it off. This creates a warm environment and speeds up the process of the proofing of the dough by half! Filling: For the filling, combine all the filling ingredients (reserving 1/2 teaspoon orange zest for the frosting) in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside. Note: I found that if the filling is too soft, the butter leaks out a lot, while baking. It's not a bad thing, but next time I will slightly chill the filling and keep it just soft enough to spread with ease. Shape the dough: When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a lightly floured counter and press it (I use a rolling pin) into about a 16 by 12-inch rectangle (if you have doubled the recipe, split the dough in half and roll out one half at a time). Gently brush the filling mixture over the rectangle, using an offset spatula or rubber spatula. Lift the longest edge closest to you and begin rolling the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam closed and roll the log so it is seam side down. Using a serrated knife**, slice the log into 12 evenly sized rolls,more or less. You can slice them thinner or thicker as you like. I find that using dental floss is a fool-proof way to slice the rolls. Obviously, you want to use fresh and unscented floss! I use a 9-inch cake pan, prepared with nonstick spray and with parchment paper on the bottom. Place each slice, cut side down, with one slice right in the center and the rest all around. Note: I made 2-inch thick slices, and the rolls rose up super high! Next time, I'll slice them 1-inch thick. Cover the rolls with lightly greased plastic wrap. Let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Note: Using my WARM method in the oven, these rose super high in less than 30 minutes. Bake the rolls at 350°F for 22 to 25 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden on top and cooked through. Remove rolls to a cooling rack and place waxed paper underneath. Frost immediately. Frosting: In a stand mixer, with the whisk attachment, cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the orange zest, orange juice and, if using, the orange oil. Add confectioner's sugar in 1/2 cup increments until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
