Ingredients
- Softened butter, for bowls and baking pan
For the glaze:
- 1 cup light muscavado sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 orange, finely grated zest
- 1 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
For the dough:
- 1 package yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110 degrees F)
- 1/4 cup plus a pinch granulated sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 8 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
For the glaze:
Combine sugar, butter, honey, orange juice and zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil; boil until slightly thickened. Pour the glaze into the prepared pan, and scatter the nuts over the top.
For the dough:
Sprinkle yeast over warm milk with a pinch of the granulated sugar; set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Melt 1/4 cup butter and whisk into yeast with vanilla and egg yolk.
Whisk flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in yeast mixture to make a sticky dough. Knead dough on floured work surface until soft and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes (Dough will be soft and elastic, but not terribly sticky). Shape into a ball, brush with a little melted butter. Place in bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Knead dough; re-form into ball. Return to the bowl. Cover with buttered plastic wrap, refrigerate for 4 hours.
For the filling:
Roll dough into 10 by 18-inch rectangle with a long edge facing you. Spread soft butter over the surface. Whisk 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon together, scatter over butter. Roll into a long tight cylinder; pinch long edge to seal. Cut into 1 1/2-inch rolls with string or dental floss. Evenly space rolls in pan. Cover, let rise at room temperature until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Rest at room temperature 10 minutes, unmold, and serve warm.
