Ingredients:
For the Dough
- 1 cup warm milk (105-115 degrees F)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1/3 cup unsalted Irish butter (melted)
- zest of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade jelly
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (warmed)
For the Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- zest and juice of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Directions:
- Pour the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast overtop.
- Add the eggs, butter, zest, salt and sugar.
- Add the flour and mix using the beater blade just until the ingredients are barely combined. Allow
the mixture to sit for 5 minutes while the flour absorbs the liquid.
- Scrape the dough off the beater blade and remove it. Attach the dough hook.
- Beat the dough on medium speed for 5-7 minutes or until the dough is elastic and smooth. The dough
will be tacky and will still be sticking to the sides of the bowl.
- Spray a large bowl with cooking spray.
- Use a rubber spatula to remove the dough from the mixer bowl and place it in the greased large bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a towel or wax paper.
- Set the bowl in a warm place and allow the dough to rise until double. I like to turn on the oven to
the lowest setting for 1-2 minutes. Then turn off the oven and place the dough to rise in there. It
normally takes about 30 minutes for the dough to rise.
- Sprinkle a pastry mat generously with flour. Turn out the dough onto the pastry mat and sprinkle the
top of the dough with additional flour.
- Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough to about a 12x15" rectangle.
- Use a rubber spatula to smooth the marmalade jelly over the whole dough rectangle. Sprinkle the top
with cinnamon.
- Starting on the long end, roll the dough up tightly jelly roll style.
- Cut into 12 slices and place in a greased 9x13 baking pan.
- Cover the pan and allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes or until nearly double.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Warm the heavy cream until the chill is off. It should be warm to the touch but not hot.
- Once the rolls have risen, pour the heavy cream over the top of the rolls, allowing it to soak down
in and around the rolls.
- Bake at 375 degrees for about 17 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden brown and the center
rolls are cooked through.
- While the rolls are cooling, prepare the orange glaze.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, zest and juice of 1 orange and heavy cream.
Whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled rolls.
