Amy's Recipe

Dough Ingredients


1 Cup Warm Milk (105° to 115°F)
(1) ¼-oz. Package Active Dry Yeast
1 Cup Sugar
4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
¼ Cup + ⅓ Cup Butter, Melted, Divided
1 teaspoon Table Salt
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
2 Large Eggs, Lightly Beaten
Vegetable Cooking Spray

Filling Ingredients


23 Cup Orange Marmalade
¾ Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon

Glaze Ingredients


1 Cup Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
1½ Tablespoons Milk
¼ teaspoon Orange Extract

Directions


Combine the milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a 1-cup glass measuring cup, stirring to dissolve yeast; let stand 5 minutes.
Combine the flour, ¼ cup of the butter, salt, orange zest, eggs, and 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar in bowl of heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Add the milk mixture; beat at low speed 1 to 2 minutes or until blended, using the dough hook attachment. Increase speed to medium-low and beat 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth (dough will be soft and slightly sticky). Place the dough in a greased bowl; lightly grease top of dough with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place (80° to 85°F), free from drafts, 45 minutes to 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
Combine the marmalade, remaining ⅓ cup butter, cinnamon, and remaining ¾ cup sugar in a small bowl.
Punch the dough down. Turn out a light floured surface; roll into a 15"×12" rectangle (about ¼ inch thick). Spread the marmalade mixture over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, starting at 1 long side. Cut the dough into 15 (1-inch thick) slices, and place in a well-greased 13"×9" pan with sides touching. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or until almost doubled in bulk.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Uncover the rolls, and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven, and cool slightly.
Whisk together until blended 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1½ tablespoons milk, and ¼ teaspoon orange extract. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls. Makes 23 cup.
