Orange Rolls

By pcoates

Ingredients

• Filling:
• 1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
• 1/2 cup sugar (can add another to the bread)
• 2 TBL plus 2 tsp. butter, softened
• 4 TBL sugar
• 2 tsp. orange juice (I use Simply Orange)
• 1 tsp. orange extract OR grated orange peel
• Orange Glaze:
• 1 c. confectioner’s sugar
• 2 TBL orange juice
• 1/4 tsp. orange extract or grated orange peel

Preparation

Step 1

Roll one loaf of bread dough into approximately a 9×6 rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Let the dough rest (leave it alone) while you mix up the FILLING.

Use a fork to combine filling ingredients and spoon the filling onto the dough, spreading the filling out to touch 3 sides, leaving the long edge closest to you free of filling. R

Roll the dough towards you, jelly-roll style.

Slice dough in 3/4 inch increments.

Grease a 9×9 square pan and place the rolls inside, touching each other.

Cover with plastic wrap or towel and let rise in a warm location for 45 minutes or until doubled in size. (Alternatively, you can now put them in the fridge to rise overnight instead of letting them rise in a warm place.)

When ready to bake, set temperature on oven to 350 and bake for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned.

Mix up the glaze. Glaze while warm.
