These are some of the best rolls I make. Sweet and yeasty and orange-y...a little bit of trouble to make, but your guests will LOVE you for caring. Holidays REQUIRE these...otherwise the family might revolt. Ingredients:
4 1-ounce yeast cakes (refrigerated section of your market) |
1 1/3 cups warm water (105-115 degrees f) |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup shortening |
1 egg, room temperature |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 1/4 cups flour |
1 cup butter, room temperature |
1 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
Directions:
1. For Dough: Crumble yeast into large bowl. Stir in water and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes
2. Stir shortening, egg and salt into yeast mixture. Add flour 1/4 cup at a time, stirring until mixture is smooth. Grease bowl. Add dough, turning to coat entire surface. Cover and let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
3. For filling: Beat butter and sugar to blend well. Stir in orange peel.
4. To assemble: Roll dough out on generously floured surface to thickness of 3/16 inch. Spread filling evenly over dough. Roll dough up into cylinder, as for jelly roll. Cut into 1 1/2 inch-thick slices. Set each slice in paper muffin cup. Arrange on baking sheet. Cover with towel and let rise in warm draft-free area for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 400. Bake rolls until lightly browned on top, about 12 minutes.
