Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Orange juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is just warm to the touch (about 110°F/43°C), then remove from heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the warm milk, 0.25 cup granulated sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 3

Add the eggs, softened butter, and salt to the yeast mixture, then mix to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in a stand mixer until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing the orange zest and 0.5 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a 12x18-inch rectangle.

Step 8

Spread the softened butter (for filling) evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the orange-sugar mixture on top.

Step 9

Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 10

Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 12

While the rolls cool slightly, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.

Step 13

Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls. Serve and enjoy!
