Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast ((active, or instant - 1 package of yeast))
  • 1/2 cup milk ((warm))
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • zest from 1 orange
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter ((softened))
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • zest from 1/2 orange
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 TBS orange juice
  • zest from 1/2 orange
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instruction

  • Dissolve the yeast in a large bowl with warm milk. Mix together and then allow to rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Add in the orange juice, zest, sugar, butter, and eggs. Stir until combined.
  • Add in the flour (start with 3 1/2 cups of flour) and salt, and mix it together, just until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl (The dough should still be soft, but not too sticky that it sticks to the bowl or your hands). Add a bit more flour if necessary to get the right consistency.
  • Once the dough starts to come away from the sides of the bowl on its own, knead it for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a new greased bowl, or grease the bowl you have been using. Cover it with a towel, and let the dough rest to rise until it has doubled in size. About 1 hour.
  • Lightly flour the counter top and roll out the dough until it is about 14x20 inch rectangle.
