Ingredients:
For the Dough:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup whole milk (warm)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Orange Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Zest of 2 large oranges
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
For the Orange Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp orange zest
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Gradually stir in warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Orange Filling:
In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice until well combined. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
Spread the orange filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Starting from the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
Slice the log into 12 rolls and arrange them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls and let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
4. Bake the Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the rolls cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.
5. Prepare the Orange Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
6. Glaze and Serve:
Drizzle the orange glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
Enjoy your fresh and fragrant Orange Roll Bake!
