Ingredients
- 1 3 pound package Rhodes sweet dough (3 loaves)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- zest of 4 oranges
- 1 cup butter melted
Glaze
- 4 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
- zest of one orange
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Thaw the sweet roll in the refrigerator over night.
- Cut each loaf of dough into 16 pieces. Roll the pieces into 8" long ropes.
- In one small bowl mix the zest of 4 oranges with the sugar. In a second bowl, add the melted butter.
- Dip each piece of dough into the butter and wipe off any excess with your fingers. Then dip into the sugar and zest mixture. Tie in a knot and place on a greased or lined baking sheet. Repeat this process until all rolls are made.
- Cover the rolls loosely and place them in a warm location and let raise until they have doubled in size.
- Once the rolls are close to being raised, preheat your oven to 350°.
- Bake the rolls at 350° for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown. Allow the rolls to cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk all of the glaze ingredients until smooth. Spoon the glaze over the rolls. Once the glaze is set, store in an air-tight container.
Notes
These rolls freeze great in an air-tight container up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature 1-2 hours before serving.
