HIGH FIVE ORANGE ROLLS

Time 11h35m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
½ cup warm water
1 egg, beaten
½ cup orange juice
½ cup butter, melted
¼ cup instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tablespoon orange extract
5 cups bread flour, or more if needed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened

½ cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons orange extract
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon white sugar and the yeast over the warm milk and warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Mix in the egg, 1/2 cup orange juice, melted butter, vanilla pudding mix, and 1 tablespoon orange extract. Stir in 5 cups bread flour and salt. Add more bread flour if the dough is too sticky. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Turn the dough out on a floured surface and roll out into a 24x12-inch rectangle. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with 3/4 cup white sugar. Roll up the dough, beginning with the long side. Cut the dough into 18 1 1/2-inch rolls. Arrange the rolls cut-side up on prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls and allow them to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow rolls to cool slightly before frosting.

ORANGE SWEET ROLLS



Orange Sweet Rolls image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 2h10m

Yield 48 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 rounded teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted
8 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest and juice of 2 oranges
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Dash of salt
1/2 cup whole milk, more if needed for a pourable consistency
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice. Just be sure to use 100% orange juice and not a juice cocktail.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will give the rolls a more intense orange flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the rolls tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the rolls rise properly.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the rolls warm with butter and honey or your favorite glaze.
