Easy Orange 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.

HIGH FIVE ORANGE ROLLS

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.
• Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Combine 1/2 cup softened butter with the orange zest and 1 teaspoon orange extract in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside. Grease a baking sheet, or cover with parchment paper.
• 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.
• While the rolls are baking, cream together the cream cheese and 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and 2 teaspoons orange extract. Stir in milk, a little at a time, until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Spread the frosting over the slightly cooled rolls.

EASY HOMEMADE ORANGE ROLLS

Steps:

• For the dough, you can use a mixer or mix/knead it by hand. Start by adding the warm water, active dry yeast, sugar, and olive oil to your mixing bowl. Stir and let sit for 3-5 minutes.
• Next, add the salt and flour and mix for five minutes. Start with 5½ cups of flour and add a little more if needed. Depending on the day, you may need to add a little more than the 6 cups.
• Cover and let rise for 10 minutes. Beat the dough down, or if you used a mixer, turn the mixer on for a few seconds. Repeat this two more times.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• After the third 10-minute rise, lightly flour a surface and roll the dough out into a large rectangle that is approx. 24 by 15 inches.
• Using the very softened butter, spread it with your hand to spread it evenly over the surface of the dough.
• Next, in a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and orange zest. Sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough and use your hand to spread it evenly, if necessary.
• Now roll up the dough tightly, and then slice it into 1-inch pieces. You should get between 20 and 24 orange rolls.
• Spray a 13x18 inch cookie sheet with cooking spray or use a Silpat liner. Place the rolls an inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet, cover, and let rise for 25-30 minutes. (I like to spray plastic wrap with cooking spray so that it won't stick to the rolls while they are rising.)
• Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
• Allow rolls to cool just slightly while you mix up the glaze.
• For the glaze, melt ¼ cup butter in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl.
• Next, add the orange juice, 1 tsp of reserved orange zest, and 2 cups of powdered sugar.
• Use a whisk to thoroughly mix the glaze until there are no lumps.
• Use a spoon to spread about 1 tbsp of frosting on the top of each warm orange roll.
• Serve and Enjoy!
