Time 2h50m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup hot milk
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
6 cups bread flour, divided
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Stir butter and 1 teaspoon sugar into the hot milk until butter is melted. When mixture is lukewarm, stir in yeast and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • When mixture is creamy, transfer to a large mixing bowl. Mix in 2 cups of bread flour. Add 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, orange juice, orange zest, and salt and beat until combined. Add remaining flour, mixing well after each addition, until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Knead for about 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. If time permits, you can punch dough down, cover it, and let it rise again.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Cut dough into 3 balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  • Shape each piece of dough into braided loaves or buns; place on baking sheets. Let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake until rolls or loaves are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes for individual buns, about 20 minutes for braids. Frost rolls, if desired (see Cook's Note) or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

HIGH FIVE ORANGE ROLLS



High Five Orange Rolls image

My son loves the orange rolls that come in a can. But he wanted them homemade. After trying a couple recipes and none of them meeting his approval, I came up with my own. After getting thumbs up AND a high five from my son, I finally had a recipe! These are made overnight and baked in the morning.

Time 11h35m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
½ cup warm water
1 egg, beaten
½ cup orange juice
½ cup butter, melted
¼ cup instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tablespoon orange extract
5 cups bread flour, or more if needed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon orange extract
¾ cup white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons orange extract
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed

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.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis Bio & Top Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
1 cup packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (grate the zest first and reserve it for the filling)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (grate the zest first and reserve it for the filling)
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest (from 1 orange)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring work surface
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • For the orange glaze: Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, orange juice, honey and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Pour the glaze into the cake pan and set aside.
  • For the orange roll filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, salt and cloves. Pour over the butter and use a fork to stir the mixture until it resembles wet sand. Set the filling aside while you make the dough.
  • For the orange roll dough: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Roll the dough out into a 12-by-9-inch rectangle. Spread the reserved filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Starting at one long end, gently roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam. Slice the log into 8 even pieces and place the rolls cut-side down onto the glaze in the cake pan.
  • Bake until the rolls are golden and the filling is dark and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool the rolls in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a platter, spreading any leftover glaze from the pan over the top of the rolls. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

ORANGE SWEET ROLLS



Orange Sweet Rolls image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 2h10m

Yield 48 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 rounded teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted
8 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest and juice of 2 oranges
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Dash of salt
1/2 cup whole milk, more if needed for a pourable consistency
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted

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.

Tips:

  • To make softer orange buns, blanch the orange peels in boiling water for a few minutes before using. This will remove the bitterness and make the peels more pliable.
  • Add a teaspoon of orange extract or zest to the dough for a more intense orange flavor.
  • If you don't have orange juice, you can use milk or water instead. However, the orange juice will give the buns a more citrusy flavor.
  • For a sweeter bun, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the dough.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the buns. Otherwise, they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Fry the buns in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan and cook evenly.
  • Serve the buns warm with butter, honey, or your favorite dipping sauce.
