Orange Sticky Buns
Notes
Orange Roll Dough: I prefer to buy frozen bread dough and have used Rhodes 3 Loaf Frozen White Bread Dough 48 Oz which I purchased from Meijer.
Ingredients
Orange Glaze
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 ea. cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 ea. stick butter (at room temperature)
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- Grate the zest from the entire orange
- 2 ea. tbsp. honey
- ¼ tsp. fine salt
Orange Roll Filling
- 1 ea. cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 ea. tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 ea. tsp. freshly grated orange zest
- ¼ tsp. fine salt
- ⅛ tsp. fine salt
- ⅛ tsp. ground cloves
- 1 ea. tbsp. butter, melted
Orange Roll Dough:
- The rolls will then need to be proofed for 45 minutes before baking
Instructions
Orange Glaze:
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, orange juice, honey and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Pour the glaze into the cake pan and set aside.
Orange roll filling
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, salt and cloves. Pour over the butter and use a fork to stir the mixture until it resembles wet sand. Set the filling aside while you make the dough.
Orange Roll Dough
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Roll the dough out into a 12-by-9-inch rectangle.
- Spread the reserved filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Starting at one long end, gently roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam.
- Slice the log into 8 even pieces and place the rolls cut-side down onto the glaze in the cake pan.
- Bake until the rolls are golden and the filling is dark and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool the rolls in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a platter, spreading any leftover glaze from the pan over the top of the rolls.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
