Recipe is from Betty Crocker's Breads cookbook, published in 1974. The first time I try a recipe, I like to write the date beside it. I see that I first made these on May 30, 1977 and my comment was: VG ( very good ). (Cooking time includes 2 hrs for letting the dough rise. Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (105-115 degrees) |
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
3 -3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, softened |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
1 tablespoon orange zest (optional) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in lg mixer bowl.
2. Add orange peel, orange juice, sugar, salt, egg, butter and 1 1/2 c of the flour.
3. Beat 30 seconds on low, scraping bowl constantly; increase speed to medium, beat 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
4. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a dough easy to handle.
5. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead 5 minutes and dough is smooth and elastic.
6. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours (dough is ready if an indentation remains when dough is touched).
7. Punch dough down and, on a lightly floured surface, roll into a rectangle 15x9 .
8. Spread w/ 1 T butter and sprinkle w/ combined 2 T sugar and 1 t cinnamon.
9. Roll up, beginning at one of the long sides; pinch edge of dough into roll to seal well; stretch to make roll even.
10. Cut roll into 15 slices about 1 wide.
11. Place slices slightly apart in a greased oblong baking pan, 13x9x2 , or in greased muffin cups.
12. Cover and let rise until double, about 30 minutes.
13. Bake in a 375 degree preheated oven until rolls are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
14. If desired, mix together confectioner's sugar, orange juice, orange peel, and vanilla; frost while warm.
15. Recipe is easily doubled.
