Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 stick Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Orange zest
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until it's warm (about 110°F/43°C). Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Add the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs to the flour mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6-8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Meanwhile, prepare the orange filling by mixing orange zest and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12x18-inch rectangle.

Step 8

Brush the dough with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle the orange zest-sugar mixture evenly over the top.

Step 9

Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 equal rolls.

Step 10

Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 12

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 13

Let the rolls cool slightly before drizzling the glaze generously over the top.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, citrusy goodness!
