Orange Rolls

• Pour your milk into a small saucepan and warm slightly on the stove top - do not bring to a boil - cool
• In a large bowl, mix cooled milk, 1 cup sugar, oil, and 3 tsp salt - stir until sugar is dissolved
• Add 2 cups of flour and mix in
• Add the 2 slightly beaten eggs and mix together well
• Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup lukewarm water and let sit to bubble slightly (for a couple of minutes)
• Add the 1/4 cup fresh orange juice to the flour mixture and stir together well
• Add the orange zest and mix in
• Add the yeast, mix in
• Add the rest of the flour 1 cup at a time, mixing after each cup
• The last two cups should be done 1/2 cup at a time until you feel your dough is the right consistency - still a bit sticky but not too wet or too dry
• Cover and let rise until double about 1 to 1 1/2 hours
• Once the dough has risen you can choose to make dinner rolls, crescent rolls, or orange cinnamon rolls
• For all rolls, flour a flat surface and punch dough down to deflate; adding a little more flour as needed to make dough easy to work with

For dinner rolls

• Spray muffin tins with cooking spray
• Squeeze off about a 2 inch size ball of dough and form into a ball
• Place in 1 cup of a muffin tin, continue until all muffin tins are full (it will make about 3 dozen)
• Cover to let rise for 1/2 hour to 1 hour

For crescent rolls

• Divide dough into 6 balls and roll each ball into a flatten circle
• Cut the circle with a pizza cutter into 6 to 8 sections like a pizza
• Starting at the large end of the triangle, roll the dough to the small end
• Shape like a crescent and put on a spayed cookie sheet, continue to do this with the rest of the dough
• Cover and let rise for 1/2 hour to 1 hour

For orange cinnamon rolls

• Divide the dough into 3 parts
• Roll each part flat into a rectangle and spread with 1/3 of the cinnamon/sugars/butter mixture
• Starting with the long end roll the dough into a tube shape to make orange cinnamon rolls
• Slice 1 inch cinnamon rolls with a thread (slide a piece of thread under the dough, encircle, and then slice through the dough)
• Place in a sprayed 9x13 pan
• Continue with the rest of the dough, slicing each piece
• Do the same with the rest of the parts of dough to make about 3 dozen orange cinnamon rolls
• Cover and let rest to rise 1/2 to 1 hour

For all rolls

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• After rolls have risen, place in oven to bake for 8 to 12 minutes

For Glaze

• If you made the cinnamon rolls or even the crescent rolls you might choose to glaze them
• Place your ingredients for the glaze in a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth
• Spread over the warm rolls
