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 for Making Sunshine Sweet Rolls

  • Use fresh ingredients: Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh milk, eggs, and butter will give your rolls a richer flavor and texture.
  • Activate the yeast properly: Make sure to activate the yeast properly before adding it to the dough. This will help ensure that the rolls rise properly.
  • Knead the dough until smooth and elastic: Kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the rolls a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: Place the dough in a warm place to rise. This will help the dough double in size and become light and airy.
  • Shape the rolls evenly: When shaping the rolls, make sure they are all evenly sized. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the rolls at the right temperature: Bake the rolls at the correct temperature for the specified amount of time. Overbaking or underbaking the rolls will result in dry or dense rolls.
  • Glaze the rolls while they are still warm: Brushing the rolls with a glaze while they are still warm will help them stay moist and give them a beautiful shine.
