Orange Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

Dough ▢1 package active dry yeast ▢1/4 cup warm water ▢1 cup warm milk 2% ▢1/4 cup shortening ▢1/4 cup sugar ▢1 tsp salt ▢1 egg lightly beaten ▢3 1/2-3 3/4 cups all purpose flour Filling ▢1 cup sugar ▢1/2 cup butter softened ▢2 tbsp orange peel grated Glaze ▢1 cup powdered sugar ▢5-6 tsp butter softened ▢1 1/2 tsp lemon extract ▢4-5 tsp milk 2%

Instructions

Dissolve dry yeast and warm water in a large bowl. Add milk, shortening, sugar, salt, egg and 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour, enough to form a soft dough.

On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease all sides. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Should take about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine all filling ingredients; set aside until ready to use. Punch dough down and roll into long rectangle. Spread your filling and roll up, starting with a long end. Cut into even pieces, about 12-14.

Place cut side down onto a greased 10×15 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 375°. Always check during baking. Rolls should be light golden brown.

Combine the powdered sugar, butter, and extract in a small bowl. Add enough milk to achieve desired consistency; spread one while rolls are warm.
