Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water (105 - 115 degrees F; 40 - 45 degrees C)
¾ cup warm orange juice (105 - 115 degrees F; 40 - 45 degrees C)
¼ cup warm milk (105 - 115 degrees F; 40 - 45 degrees C)
¼ cup shortening
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons orange zest
2 cups confectioners' sugar
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and warm orange juice in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat warm milk, shortening, 1/4 cup white sugar, egg, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir yeast mixture into milk mixture. Add enough flour to mixture to create a soft dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Grease a large bowl and two 11x7x2-inch baking sheets.
  • Place dough in the greased bowl and turn dough to coat all sides. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down and divide in half. Roll each half on a lightly floured surface creating two 15x10-inch rectangles.
  • Mix sugar, softened butter, and orange zest in a bowl until filling is smooth. Spread half of the filling onto each dough rectangle. Roll each rectangle around the filling, jelly roll-style, starting with the long end creating a log. Cut each log into 15 rolls.
  • Arrange rolls on the prepared baking sheets. Cover baking sheets with plastic wrap and let rolls rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from baking sheets.
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Beat confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, softened butter, orange juice, and orange zest in a bowl until frosting is smooth. Spread frosting on the warm rolls.
