Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine the warm milk (about 110°F) and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and orange zest.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Add the orange blossom water and mix until smooth.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 6

    Roll out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.

  2. 7

    Spread the Filling

    Evenly spread the filling mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 8

    Roll and Cut

    Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.

  4. 9

    Second Rise

    Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and cover. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

  5. 10

    Bake the Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Icing Preparation

  1. 11

    Make the Icing

    In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest, mixing until well combined.

Serve

  1. 12

    Ice the Rolls

    Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, spread the icing over the top of the rolls.
