Start with a Bosch Mixer, although you can make this in a bowl. I put the yeast, warm water, salt, oil, and sugar in the bowl. I then add the eggs and lightly mix it in the Bosch so the eggs do not “cook”. Then I add the warm milk and flour slowly. I continue to add flour until the bread dough pulls away from the sides of the Bosch bowl. I knead for about 7-8 minutes. I place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. I let the dough rise until double. I punch down the dough and make a variety of things with this bread dough. Please note that with this recipe today I made 12 orange rolls, 8 crescent rolls, and four-one pound loaves of bread. After greasing the appropriate pans, and filling them with the orange rolls, crescent rolls and loaves of bread, I covered them with plastic wrap to rise one more time. You will set the temperature at 350 degrees for the orange rolls, crescent rolls, and bread loaves. This truly is a no-fail recipe, if you have fresh ingredients.
****For the orange rolls: you roll out a section of the bread dough to 10 inches by 18 inches about 1/2 inch thick, or so. You lather 1/4 cup melted butter on the dough, spread a 1/2 cup of orange marmalade on the butter, sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar (not the one cup of sugar-my mom suggested) on top of the marmalade. Then you start rolling the dough over as shown below. I cut my rolls about one inch thick with a dough scraper like this one: OXO Good Grips Multi-purpose stainless steel scraper & chopper Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Homemade Orange Rolls:
This is the filling for 12 orange rolls
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup sugar
Homemade Orange Rolls Glaze:
This is the glaze for 12 rolls:
2 oranges-zest them with a large micro plane and squeeze as much juice as you can out of them
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
***Combine the orange zest, orange juice, powdered sugar, and butter together with a spoon and drizzle the glaze onto the hot rolls when you pull them out of the oven. Talk about yummy! Oh my gosh!
