Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
  • 1-1/4 cups warm orange juice (110o to 115o), divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 to 4 tsp grated orange peel
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup raisins
  • glaze:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 to 3 tsp water

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 3/4 cup warm orange juice. Add the butter, sugar, eggs, orange peel, salt, cinnamon, raisins, remaining orange juice and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 22 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Using a sharp knife, cut a cross on the top of each ball. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
  5. In a small heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, combine glaze ingredients until smooth. Cut a small hole in a corner of bag; pipe a cross on each bun. Yield: 22 buns.
