These delightful Heavenly Orange Rolls Recipe are bursting with flavor and perfect for breakfast or alongside Ham like we like to serve them.
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.
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.
Roll tightly so there will be many layers of dough. Cut in 1″ pieces and place in muffin tin.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until very lightly browned. Pull out of pan and serve immediately or store in airtight containers.
These smell heavenly and taste even better! They are light and flavorful!
Unlike traditional cinnamon rolls that are suppose to get big, these dynamite little bites are tightly wound, bite-size rolls that are bursting with flavor.
