Method
Preparation of Dough
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cinnamon. Create a well in the center, then add the activated yeast, melted butter, egg, orange juice, and zest. Mix until you have a sticky dough.
- Transfer your dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let It Rise
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Roll and Fill
- Once doubled, punch down the dough, and roll it out into a rectangle (about 12 inches by 18 inches).
- Evenly spread homemade orange curd across the surface, then sprinkle cinnamon to your liking.
- Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal, and slice into individual rolls.
Bake Them Perfectly
- Place your rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and baked through.
Glaze and Serve
- In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Once your rolls are cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve warm.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or freeze for longer storage before glazing.
