Ingredients

FOR THE ROLLS:
2 cups Warm Water
1/3 cups Sugar
1 Tablespoon Yeast
1 stick Butter
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
3 cups Bread Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 cups All-purpose Flour
3 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 Tablespoon Orange Zest

_____
FOR THE GLAZE:
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1/4 teaspoons Grated Orange Zest
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1/4 teaspoons Vanilla
1 teaspoon Milk
1 whole Orange, Juiced

Directions

1

Place 2 cups of warm water, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1 Tablespoon of yeast, along with one stick (8 Tablespoons) of nearly melted butter in a mixing bowl. Let sit for a bit and then add 2 eggs, baking powder and 3 cups of bread flour.
2

Mix together and then add salt and 2-3 cups of all purpose flour. Mix and add more flour as needed to form a soft dough. Then, knead the dough in the mixer for 4 minutes.
3

Cover top of dough with a bit of butter or cooking spray, then cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk. At that point, punch down, and let dough rise a second time.
4

Divide dough into two balls and roll each one into a circle on a buttered countertop.
5

Melt 3 Tablespoons of butter and then put the zest of one orange in with the butter and stir. Spread this on the circles.
6

Then sprinkle with a mix of cinnamon and sugar. Cut dough in triangles and roll each triangle up, starting with the fat end to the skinny end. Put on a buttered cookie sheet.
7

Let rise for around 20-30 minutes and then bake at 350F for 15-18 minutes or golden brown.
8

Cool slightly and then frost with Orange Glaze.

This is something I just usually throw together without measuring, so feel free to do that, but the above list has some approximate measurements.

Mix all glaze ingredients (except the juice) together in a bowl and add the orange juice to make a spreadable frosting. (I like mine just a little runny)
