Instruction

  • Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
  • Combine all dough ingredients in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer. Mix until a soft dough forms. To knead by machine, change mixing paddle to the dough hook and knead for 4-7 minutes. Knead by hand 5-8 minutes. Dough should be soft but not sticky. Place about 1 tsp oil in the bottom of a large bowl. Add dough, coat bottom of dough with oil then turn oil-side up and cover with a greased sheet of plastic wrap. Set in a warm, draft-free place to rise until double, about 1 1/2-2 hrs depending on conditions.
  • Bread Machine Method: Add dough ingredients per bread machine instructions. Run on DOUGH cycle and let rise in the machine.
  • Punch down dough. Lightly oil your work surface. Turn out dough onto prepared work surface and roll into a rectangle 12 x 16-inches.
  • Spread the 1/3 cup butter evenly across the top of the dough. Mix the cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly across buttered surface.
  • Roll up tightly starting from narrow end. Seal seam. Cut into 12 slices, 1-inch thick. Place in prepared baking pan 3 slices across short end, 4 slices down long end. Cover with greased plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place to rise until double, about 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until rolls are golden brown on the top.
  • While rolls are baking, prepare frosting by placing cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and cream cheese well. Add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time beating until smooth. Add the orange extract and beat until well blended.
  • Ice rolls while still very warm.
