From Taste of Home. My Aunt has been making this for years. One of her sons requests it for his "Birthday Cake". It is wonderfully fragrant and yummy toasted with butter.

Yield 2 loaves, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees)
1 cup milk, warm (110 to 115 degrees F)
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 tablespoon orange peel, grated
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in water.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine milk, orange juice, sugar, shortening, peel and salt.

  • Roll each half into 15-in. x 7-in. rectangle.
  • For filling, combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over rectangle. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon water.
  • Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a short end. Seal edges.
  • Place with sealed edge down in two greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from pan and cool on wire racks.
