OK, I can't take total credit for this recipe. It was given to me by my neighbor after she brought some AMAZING orange rolls to a BBQ that we had. I have slightly adapted the recipe and used 3 cups of bread flour with the all purpose flour. I think personally, that they stayed softer with the bread flour, but they taste just as good with the all purpose flour too. Yesterday when I made these, I split the dough in half and made half cinnamon rolls and half orange rolls. I asked for opinions, but nobody could say that one was better than the other. But, then again, what is better that bread and frosting?!
Orange/Cinnamon Rolls
4 eggs
½ c.
butter or margarine
½ c. sugar
2 tsp.
salt
2 c. milk,
scalded
3 TBSP.
yeast. Dissolved in ½ c. warm water
6-7 cups
flour
In a stand
mixer, beat together eggs, butter, sugar and salt. Add scalded milk and
continue to mix until butter is melted. Cool for about 5 minutes, then add
yeast. Change attachment to a dough hook, and add flour a cup at a time. The dough will be very sticky, but cover with
a damp cloth and put in warm place and let rise 1 hour.
Punch
down dough and separate into 2-3 parts. Roll to about ¼ of an inch thick
rectangle
And spread
with filling, and roll the length of the dough. Cut and place
On a
greased pan. Let raise about 45 minutes. Then bake at 400
Degrees
for 7-10minutes, or until golden brown.
Orange Spread:
½ c.
butter, softened
1 1/2c.
sugar
Grated rind
of 1 large orange
Cinnamon Spread:
Melt ¼ c.
butter, and brush all over dough. Then sprinkle the entire dough with cinnamon,
and then sprinkle with brown sugar. (I just eyeball this, I don’t ever measure)
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1/2 c.
butter, softened
1 8oz.
package cream cheese, softened
4-6 cups
powdered sugar
1 tsp.
