âI've been making this recipe from my grandmother for years-it's a favorite on Sunday mornings! The orange zest, juice and nuts give the rolls great flavor.â Donna Taylor - Southbridge, Massachusetts Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
icing: |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice |
Directions:
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14-in. square. Spread butter over dough. In a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, brown sugar, orange peel and cinnamon. Sprinkle over dough. 2. Roll up jelly-roll style; pinch seams to seal. Cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place cut side down in two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes. 3. Bake at 350° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla and enough orange juice to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over warm rolls. Yield: about 2 dozen. |
