CINNAMON-ORANGE ROLLS



Cinnamon-Orange Rolls image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon grated orange zest plus 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed and for flouring
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for the bowl
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Steps:

  • For the dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast, hot water and 1 teaspoon of the sugar, whisking to mix. Set aside for 10 minutes, allowing the yeast to dissolve and fully activate. It should bubble around the edges and almost double in size. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, orange zest and juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and orange juice mixture and beat until the dough forms a ball, 2 to 3 minutes. Switch out the paddle for the dough hook and knead the dough until fairly smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Lightly coat a large bowl with vegetable oil and add the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • For the filling: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick and slightly bigger than the baking dish. Spread the butter over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle the dough with the brown sugar, then the cinnamon. Starting with one longer edge, roll the dough into a cylinder and pinch the ends together to seal completely. Cut into 12 rolls and place in the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise until they double in size, about 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls and bake, uncovered, until light brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • For the glaze: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice until smooth. While the rolls are still warm, drizzle them with the glaze and serve.

ORANGE CINNAMON WAFERS



Orange Cinnamon Wafers image

Categories     Cookies     Bake     Orange     Winter     Cinnamon     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 6 dozen 1-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, well softened
1/3 cup Demerara sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh orange zest (from 1 large orange)
1 large egg white
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 scant 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch plain tip (optional)

Steps:

  • Blend together butter, sugar, and zest with a rubber spatula. Add egg white and stir until combined well. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt onto butter mixture and stir until flour is just incorporated. Chill dough, covered (or in pastry bag if using), until firm but not hard, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Pipe or drop 1/2-teaspoon mounds about 3 inches apart onto lightly buttered baking sheets and bake in batches until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets until warm (about 2 minutes), then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh oranges: The quality of the oranges you use will greatly impact the flavor of the wafers. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size, have a deep orange color, and are free of blemishes.
  • Zest the oranges finely: The finer you zest the oranges, the more aromatic the wafers will be. Use a microplane zester or a fine grater to get the best results.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, making the wafers light and tender. Make sure to cream the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes, or until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the mixture from curdling.
  • Chill the dough before rolling: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and roll out. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roll the dough thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the wafers will be. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
  • Bake the wafers until golden brown: Bake the wafers in a preheated oven until they are golden brown around the edges. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the wafers cool completely before storing: Let the wafers cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container. This will help to prevent them from becoming soft.

Conclusion:

Orange cinnamon wafers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their bright orange flavor and crispy texture, these wafers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these orange cinnamon wafers a try!
