This recipe is a little time-consuming but, for special occasions, it's well worth the effort. I've put these rolls in gift baskets with a jar of the orange glaze.

Provided by Taste of Home

Time 40m

Yield 16 rolls.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup orange juice
Grated zest of 2 oranges
5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour, divided
ORANGE GLAZE:
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat milk, shortening, sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in water. In a large bowl, combine yeast with milk mixture, eggs, juice, zest and 3 cups flour. Mix until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down; let rest 15 minutes. Roll dough into a 16x10-in. rectangle. Cut into sixteen 1-in. strips. Tie strips into knots; place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 400° for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
