Orange Rolls~
by Liz Berg on January 2, 2011
When we were first married, I used to bake orange rolls on a regular basis. My hubby had fond childhood memories of a roadside dinner that served these delectable treats. I attempted to recreate these using a Betty Crocker recipe that utilized leftover filling as frosting…and he loved them. With little except laundry planned for the day, I thought I could whip up a more modern version of this delightful breakfast sweet for our New Year’s breakfast.
I found a lovely recipe on the blog Get Off Your Butt and Bake…which actually called for 3 dough risings. What the heck, I had the time. I know the dh would be thrilled to come home to the scent of orange and yeast in the kitchen. Thank you, Jonna, for this fabulous recipe~~
Ingredients
- Adapted from the blog Get Off Your Butt and Bake
-
- 1 cup scalded milk, cooled
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup flour plus additional 3 1/2 cups below
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon yeast (proof in 1/3 cup warm water..no hotter than 110º..with 1/2 teaspoon sugar)
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
-
- Filling~
- 6 tablespoons butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Grated rind of 1 orange
-
- Frosting~
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 stick of butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix the above ingredients. Scrape down sides and mix again. Cover with towel and let sit in a warm spot for 2 hours.
- After the 2 hours, add 3 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Use the dough hook and mix till combined. Turn up speed and allow dough hook to knead for a few minutes till dough is becomes a smooth ball. Remove from bowl, grease bowl with butter, and place dough back into bowl. Cover with towel and allow to rise till doubled in size.
- Roll dough into a large rectangle about 16 x 24. Combine filling ingredients and spread over dough. Roll up as you would cinnamon rolls, from one long side to the opposite long side. Use dental floss or thread to cut the dough into 12 equal slices. Place in a greased 9 x 13 pan; cover with towel. Let rise till doubled, about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375º. Bake rolls for 25 minutes. Combine frosting ingredients using mixer. Whip till smooth. Allow rolls to cool, then ice.

I have to say the title of your blog is fitting my dear! How do you stay so thin with these marvelous breads, cookies and creations? Looking so forward to seeing the next years roundup of wonderful treats…this one is fabulous Happy New Year! drooling isn’t good all over the computer pictures….yum!
Claudia, I try to just take a bite! That’s my secret. But my willpower seems to have dissolved over the holidays…time to behave now that January is here! Thanks for popping over
Lizzy,
What gorgeous rolls – another recipe to pop in my wanna try file!
However, Mr Fussypants would take one look at the frosting and go “Ewww!”, so when I prepare the recipe, my rolls will be frosting free!
Hugs,
Sandra
Hi Lizzy-It’s been such a pleasure being friends with you through Foodbuzz, and on each-other’s blogs. This year just flew by so quickly, but enjoyed every minute of blogging, and exchanging ideas with you and all the other friends we’ve made.
Your orange rolls, are ever-so scrumptious, with or without the icing. Great way to promote someone else’s blog.
You are so blessed with a beautiful family, and loving husband, and of course Lambeau, the “star” behind the scenes!
Wishing you all the very best, that the New Year has to offer!
XOXO
Lizzie
I am smitten – I also want the rolls. I am thinking of that fabuoous attitude, 3 rising? “I have the time.” And it looks so worth it! Happy 2011. I look forward to seeing what you will be baking.
Sandra, can I have Alex”s frosting?
Lizzie, I feel the same way about you, my friend!
Hi there, Claudia…it was a pleasure to be able to say that! My only New Year”s resolution is to slow down…LOL…we”llhave to see if it lasts through the first week
. Thanks for visiting!
These look fantastic! We have a friend who owns a cabin in the mountains and his favorite breakfast treat is orange rolls. He always makes the refrigerated kind in the can, but I definitely need to bring him this recipe next time
These look great Lizzie…your family is very lucky!
Did you get a new camera?
Have a very happy and healthy New Year!
Oh dear! This looks like a resolution-buster! I’m saving this recipe for the end of the month–after my cleanse.
Wonderful looking rolls, I love the orange flavor, yum!
Those rolls look just the way a sweet roll should look: big, soft and gloppy. YUM!!!
Thanks, everyone! I think I’m finally mastering yeast breads
Linda, no new camera…still the point and shoot. Maybe next year I’ll follow your lead!
You’ve had so many delicious roll recipes Lizzy! I’ve not ever attempted them from scratch but must see if I can make a gluten-free version (maybe wait a bit to work off the holiday sugar fest results)!
Toni, you’re a star if you’re doing gluten free adaptations! Good luck with that…and I SO know what you mean about waiting a bit
These rolls look fantastic, and they’re so huge!! I always have a problem working with yeast, I’m hoping this will be the year that I conquer it!
Wow, these look yummy! I will me marking this one for a trial, my beau loves all things citrus and sweet; this recipe will have him spoiled!!
These are beautiful! Your husband is one lucky man.
Hi Lizzy.. those rolls look beautiful, I bet those r yummy! I love any recipe using orange.. thx for sharing ^_^

Beautiful rolls. They looked so tasty.
I recently made cinnamon rolls but orange rolls sound even better. I’ve seen these on Jonna’s website too and yours look every bit as delicious.
Gosh, thanks, everyone for your super nice comments! Hope you get a chance to try these
Lizzy, these are incredible! That frosting…oooooh, I wish I could grab one through the screen!
Kate, I just keep sampling little slivers…soooo good with all the icing. I’m going to have to lay off the sweets soon! Thanks so much for stopping by~
These look delicious – if only I weren’t deathly afraid of yeast! I especially like the 4th photo down (with the slightly darker roll in the pan). Nice composition and focus.
Ruby! A compliment on my photography? THANK YOU! If I could conquer yeast, so can you~~
Ok, a confession, I actually buy the canned orange rolls every other year or so. Love those things! Yours are undoubtedly 100x better. Great photos too.
I’ve just made some bananan cake, but I am willing to swap for these. Your orange rolls would be a perfect breakfast.
Kate, if I had known there were canned orange rolls, I would have been buying those for years!
Mangocheeks, I think a deal could be made…banana cake sounds darn good!
Your rolls look gorgeous and fluffy! I have to try this recipe instead of one I usually make. I like the fresh flavor of orange. Lovely photos!!
Aw, thanks, Lora!!! This means a lot from the queen of gorgeous photos!
