Orange Rolls

By AzWench

Orange and the holiday season go hand in hand. Orange in bread is amazing.

Ingredients

• Then add:
• 1 1/4 cup scalded milk
• 1/2 cup Crisco or butter
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup amaranth, uncooked
• In a Bosch mixer combine these ingredients.
• 1 Tablespoon dry yeast
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
• 2 teaspoons orange rind zest
• 1 1/2 cups whole grain flour
• 2 to 2 1/2 cups natural white, un-brominated flour (add half the flour to start and then add flour until it starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Sticky dough = light rolls.)

Preparation

Step 1

Knead for six minutes, and then let rest for a few minutes.

Roll out dough into a large 1/4 inch sheet and cut, using a pizza cutter, 1/2 inch x 6 inch strips. Dip strip of dough into melted butter (optional) and tie in a knot. Place on a parchment lined sheet tray and let rise for 45 minutes.
Bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Then spoon or brush glaze over them right when they come out of the oven.

Orange Glaze:
1 1/2 cups powder sugar
1-2 teaspoons orange rind
1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
Whisk ingredients together until smooth. All amounts are changeable, according to desired consistency.
