  • Glaze
  • 4 c. powdered sugar
  • juice of 3 oranges
  • zest of one orange

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.
  • *These rolls freeze great in an air-tight container up to 3 months.
