Orange Rolls Recipe:
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 t. yeast)
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup milk, warmed not quite to boiling (3 T. non instant milk powder OR 1/3 c. instant
milk powder + 1 C. water-I added my water to the 1/4 c. water mentioned above for
dissolving my east)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening (or 1/2 C. bean puree)
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten (2 T. dry egg powder and NO WATER)
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
5 1/2 cups flour, sifted (I used 3/4 c. whole WHITE wheat flour and the rest bread flour)

Plain Glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup hot water, 1 teaspoon butter
Orange Glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 c. orange juice, 1 teaspoon butter, and 1 t.
grated orange peel

1. Sprinkle yeast in the warm water and set aside.

2. In another bowl, blend milk, sugar, shortening, and salt. Cool until lukewarm, then
add eggs, water with yeast, orange juice, and orange peel.

3. Stir in flour a few cups at a time to make a soft dough. Let stand for 10 minutes.

4. Knead dough 5-10 minutes on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and
elastic. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover bowl with a
clean towel and put it in a warm place. Let dough rise for 2 hours, or until double in size.
Punch dough down and let stand for 10 minutes.

5. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 3 sections. Roll dough into circle and
then
cut into 16 pieces (like a pizza). Starting at thickest part of wedge roll up (will look like a
crescent roll).

6. Cover bunnies and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, until nearly double
in size.

Bake at 375ºF (190ºC) for 12-15 minutes.
