Spiral Rolls Recipes

ORANGE SPIRAL ROLLS

Steps:

• Place the water in the bowl of an electric mixer; sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about five minutes. Add shortening, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt to bowl. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until combined. Beat in eggs and half of zest until combined.
• With mixer on low speed, add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating until incorporated after each addition. Transfer to a floured work surface, and knead slightly to form a ball. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about one hour.
• Punch down dough with your hands, and replace plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. About four hours before serving, remove dough from refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature.
• Coat three 12-cup muffin tins with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup sugar and orange zest with the orange juice and melted butter; set aside. Divide dough into three equal pieces; cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one piece of dough into an 8-by-14-inch rectangle. Let rest a few minutes if dough resists. Brush dough with some of the orange mixture. Starting with one long side, roll dough into a tight cylinder. Cut crosswise into 12 slices.
• Repeat process with two remaining dough pieces. Place slices in prepared muffin tins. Cover loosely with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray. Let rise until dough fills cups, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush tops of rolls with remaining orange mixture. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve warm.

GARLIC BREAD SPIRALS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients. Unroll dough; spread butter mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Cut into 12 slices; place in greased muffin cups, cut side down., Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

MINI SWISS ROLLS

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with cooking spray; line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the parchment.
• Beat the cream of tartar and egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup of the sugar. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks with the milk, oil, vanilla and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; whisk into the yolk mixture until smooth. Stir one-third of the egg white mixture into the batter with a rubber spatula, then gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture in 2 batches. Spread the batter in the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cake springs back when gently pressed, about 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Generously sift cocoa powder over the top of the warm cake and loosen the edges with a knife; lay a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) over the cake. Place another baking sheet over the towel and flip the cake with the baking sheets to invert it onto the towel. Remove the top baking sheet and parchment, then dust the top with cocoa powder. Starting at the long end, roll up the cake and towel together. Transfer seam-side down to a rack and let cool completely.
• For the filling: Whip the cream, corn syrup and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the glaze: Heat the chocolate, cream, coconut oil and vanilla if using in the top of a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and warm, about 4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• To assemble: Unroll the cake and spread with the filling. With one of the short edges facing you, slice the cake horizontally into 6 strips, then slice in half vertically so you have twelve 3-by-6 1/2-inch strips. Roll the strips to form tight mini jelly rolls. Dust off any excess cocoa powder. Chill for 15 minutes.
• Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack. Arrange the rolls on the rack so they are not touching and pour the glaze over them, completely covering the rolls on all sides. Chill at least 15 minutes to set the glaze before serving.

PARTY PINWHEELS

• Turn out dough onto a work surface (not floured) and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to an oiled large bowl and turn dough to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto work surface (not floured). Divide into 12 equal portions.
• Roll out 1 piece of dough into a 9- by 1-inch strip with a rolling pin, rolling and folding lengthwise and crosswise to make sides as straight as possible. Starting with 1 end, roll up strip and put, a spiral side up, in a muffin cup. Make 11 more rolls in same manner.
• Cover rolls loosely with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
