Orange Rolls
You will be amazed by the delightful burst of sunshine in these Orange Rolls. Our family Recipe for orange rolls is our tradition and smells like Christmas to me. My Dad use to make these for us for Christmas morning every year. We had them for breakfast with Strata and alongside the ham for Christmas dinner. The recipe my Dad used was passed down from his Grandma -it is a very old, tried-and-true recipe. Get ready for yummy, bit-sized orange cinnamon rolls you will love!
These wonderful, bite size orange rolls are delicious. They smell as wonderfully orangy as they smell delicious.
Orange rolls recipe
First mix up the dough by adding 3 tablespoons butter to 1 cup scalded and cooled milk. Next add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons yeast, 1 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and 1 cup flour. Let rise for 45 minutes.
Add 3 more cups flour and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles again, about 1 hour.
Stir down and let it rise another 2-3 hours in a warm place.
Orange sweet rolls
Roll out dough on a floured surface until it is very thin measuring about 12 x 16″. Spread with a thin layer of softened butter, sprinkle with sugar and orange peel you grated from 2 oranges.
Homemade orange rolls
Roll tightly so there will be many layers of dough. Cut in 1″ pieces and place in muffin tin.
Easy orange rolls
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until very lightly browned. Pull out of pan and serve immediately or store in airtight containers.
