Orange Rolls

Recipe from the Lion House, via Mom

Rolls:
2 1/2 T. Yeast
2 C. warm water
1/4 C. butter, cubed
1/2 C. dry milk
1/3 C. sugar
1 scant T. salt
1 egg
6 1/2 C water

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let rest 5 minutes. Add butter, dry milk, sugar, salt, egg and half of the flour, and mix to combine. Add rest of flour, 1 cup at a time until dough reaches right consistency. Knead about 5 minutes in electric mixer. Let rise until doubled in size. Punch down and let rise until doubled again.

Roll out like you would for cinnamon rolls. Spread with filling (recipe below). Roll up and slice, like you would cinnamon rolls. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Drizzle with glaze (recipe below) while rolls are still warm.

Orange Filling:
2 T melted butter
2 T grated orange zest
1/2 C. sugar

Glaze:
1/4 C. freshly squeezed orange juice
2 C. powdered sugar
