Ingredients

Dough:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 rounded teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Filling:

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted
  • 8 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Icing:

  • Zest and juice of 2 oranges
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • Dash of salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, more if needed for a pourableconsistency
  • 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted

Directions

For the dough: In a large saucepan over a low heat, heat the milk, oil and granulated sugar until warm but not hot (if you have a candy thermometer, it should be

125 degrees F). Add the yeast and 4 cups of the flour and stir together. Cover the

pan and leave to rise for at least an hour. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt.

For the filling: Roll the dough into a long rectangle, about 30 inches wide by 10 inches deep. You'll want it to be as thin as you can get it so you can add plenty of goo. Drizzle the melted butter all over the surface of the dough. Use your fingers to smear it all around so that it coats evenly.

Spread the orange marmalade all over the buttered dough, distributing as evenly as you can. Sprinkle plenty of brown sugar all over the marmalade. Finish with a light sprinkling of salt to offset the sweetness.

Using both hands in a back-and-forth motion, gradually roll the dough towards you into one long log. Pinch the seam to seal it. Then slice the log-o'-dough into 1/2-inch pieces.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the rolls in a buttered baking dish and allow them to rise for 20 minutes.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.

While the rolls are baking, make the icing: Add the orange zest and juice to a bowl. Add the powdered sugar and salt. Splash in the milk. And some more melted butter because the recipe doesn't already have enough. Just kidding on that last part. Whisk it together until it's nice and smooth and lovely. Your kitchen smells like oranges!

Pull the rolls out of the oven when they're golden brown, and drizzle on the icing right off the bat. The piping hot rolls will suck that gorgeous icing right down into their crevices and the whole thing pretty much becomes a miracle. Serve them warm.

    I have made all of her rolls and these are my favorite year-round sweet roll. Maybe I'm partial to the orange because i live in Florida and these are just a natural here. I use fresh squeezed oj in the glaze. In the Fall I live the traditional cinnamon rolls the the maple glaze. Oh so good!
    The only other change for me is I only use a 1/2 stick of butter.
    I would give this a 10, if I could.

    Okay, all is well and wonderful with this lovely roll. But here is a much easier way to make the dough. First of all, I use Instant Yeast. Makes your life a whole lot easier. First, measure the milk in a measuring to 1 c. and add the oil to make l 1/4 c. total. Warm in the microwave til warm (not too hot and not too cold - just a nice warm. When warm add the yeast, stir and pour all into a stand mixer. Mix the remainder of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well. With the mixer on low and with a paddle attachment slowly pour the dry ingredients in. After it mixes a bit changed to the hook attachment and mix until it pulls away from the sides. If it is too sticky you may need to add another tablespoon to the mixture. Remove to floured board, knead a couple of times and form into a ball and put into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let double in a warm place - about an hour. When doubled continue. Everything else is the same. This is a cinch and comes out beautifully.

    There is something wrong with the flour/liquid ratio. It was more of a batter than dough. I finally dumped the whole thing into a pan and baked it as a coffee cake.
