Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (100-110°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup softened butter (plus more for filling)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest (from one orange)
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice (from one orange)

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 oz butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about five minutes until foamy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine salt and softened butter until smooth. Add the egg, both zests, and fresh orange juice followed by the foamy yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually mix in flour until a cohesive dough forms. Knead for about eight minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about one hour).
  5. Punch down the dough gently and roll it out into a rectangle about half an inch thick.
  6. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough and sprinkle with filling ingredients: sugar, zest, ginger, and melted butter.
  7. Roll up tightly from one long edge and cut into twelve pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
  8. Cover rolls and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Prepare icing by mixing cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, frozen orange juice concentrate, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  11. Drizzle icing over warm rolls before serving.
