Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice concentrate or frozen orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Grate the orange zest finely. This will help to release the full flavor of the orange.
  • Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing will make the dough tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown. You can check to see if they are done by inserting a toothpick into the center of a roll. If the toothpick comes out clean, the rolls are done.
  • Serve the rolls warm. They are best when they are fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Orange bow knot rolls are a delicious and festive bread that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them plain or with a glaze, these rolls are sure to be a hit.
