TWIST OF HONEY ORANGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, combine butter, pecans, orange peel and honey. Mix well.
• Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Separate each biscuit in half. Spread top of ten layers with 1 teaspoon of honey-orange mixture. Top each biscuit with other half and press together to form 10 filled biscuits. Place rolls in ungreased 8 or 9 inch square pan.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, orange juice and vanilla. Cook over high heat until sugar is dissolved and syrup begins to boil. Stir constantly; spoon over rolls in pan.

CINNAMON-ORANGE ROLLS

Steps:

• For the dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast, hot water and 1 teaspoon of the sugar, whisking to mix. Set aside for 10 minutes, allowing the yeast to dissolve and fully activate. It should bubble around the edges and almost double in size. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, orange zest and juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and set aside.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and orange juice mixture and beat until the dough forms a ball, 2 to 3 minutes. Switch out the paddle for the dough hook and knead the dough until fairly smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Lightly coat a large bowl with vegetable oil and add the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour at room temperature.
• Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• For the filling: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick and slightly bigger than the baking dish. Spread the butter over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle the dough with the brown sugar, then the cinnamon. Starting with one longer edge, roll the dough into a cylinder and pinch the ends together to seal completely. Cut into 12 rolls and place in the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise until they double in size, about 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls and bake, uncovered, until light brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice until smooth. While the rolls are still warm, drizzle them with the glaze and serve.

ORANGE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine water, yeast & 1/2 cup flour, stirring to dissolve, then set aside for 5 to 10 minutes or just until yeast is activated (i.e. when mixture begins to bubble).
• While yeast is activating, in a separate bowl, combine the remaining flour & 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar.
• With a fork work half of this flour/sugar mixture into the activated yeast, then add the shortening & egg until combined, before slowly adding the remaining flour/sugar mixture ~ At first it will be stringy, then very sticky as the flour is absorbed. Then stir in the salt.
• Move the dough to a floured surface, & with floured hands, gently knead the dough for about 5 minutes, adding ONLY as much flour to the sticky dough as needed to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers or the kneading surface. The finished dough should be tender, soft & slightly tacky.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, then well-grease 2 muffin tins (12 muffins each).
• On a well-floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle measuring 24 inches by 10 inches.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar & the orange zest.
• Brush the dough with the softened butter, then sprinkle the orange sugar mixture over the buttered surface.
• With your hands, roll the rectangle lengthwise into a tight tube, then cut the tube into 24 (1-inch) slices, using thread if possible, as it will slice more easily & cleanly than a knife. Roll the tube one-quarter turn after each slice so that the tube doesn't begin to flatten out.
• Place each of the slices into the prepared muffin tins, then cover loosely & set aside until rolls have doubled in size.
• Bake muffin trays 1 at a time for about 8 to 10 minutes, until rolls are puffed & golden, being sure to rotate the trays halfway through for even baking.
• Cool the rolls in the tins on a wire rack slightly, then unmold & serve warm.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down; turn on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 13 pieces. Shape 12 pieces into 12-in. ropes. Fold each in half; twist top half of the open end twice to form ears. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Shape remaining dough into 12 balls. Place one on the loop end of each roll to form a tail; press into dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes., Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
