Ingredients

• 12 pieces Frozen dinner rolls
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Butter
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen dinner rolls until they are soft but still cold, about 1–2 hours, depending on room temperature.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the orange juice, granulated sugar, and orange zest until combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Cut each thawed roll into halves or quarters, depending on your preference. Dip each piece into the orange juice mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 5

Layer coated roll pieces into the prepared loaf pan, slightly overlapping them. Pour any remaining orange juice mixture evenly over the top.

Step 6

Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for about 30–45 minutes in a warm place until puffy.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and a teaspoon of freshly squeezed orange juice (optional) in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Remove the rolls from the oven when done and let them cool for 5–10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm rolls.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, citrusy goodness of orange pull-aparts!
