Orange Swirls
Cinnamon rolls BUT with orange. www.mostdeliciouslife.com
Equipment
- 2 muffin tins, regular sized with 12 cups each
Ingredients
- 1 recipe roll dough check original post for the link to the recipe I use.
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons grated orange rind
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons orange rind
- 3 Tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
- Prep roll dough according to recipe. I highly recommend using the link in this post to our basic roll dough.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Split dough in half. Roll the first half out on a clean, floured surface. Brush the rolled-out dough with 2 Tablespoons of the melted butter.
- Sprinkle half of the sugar orange blend evenly over the dough.
- Roll up length wise and cut into 12 even slices.
- Lightly grease or spray oil into the 2 muffin tins.
- Take each slice in one hand, holding the roll together, while with your other hand poke a finger gently from the bottom, up the middle to separate the layers, and push the middle up into a point.
- Place each roll carefully into the cups of the muffin tin. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Cover the rolls in the muffin tins with a towel and let sit for about a ½ hour. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes.
- Remove rolls onto cooling racks. I place the racks over large cookie sheets. Immediately mix the glaze ingredients, and using a fork and spoon, cover all the rolls with glaze, letting it drip down the sides. Glaze the rolls while they are still hot. As they cool the glaze will slightly harden.
- Store in an airtight container once cooled. Share with friends and loved ones.
