Ingredients Needed:

For The Rolls:

• 1/2 whole recipe of “Cinnamon Roll Dough” (find the dough recipe here)
• 8 tbsp orange marmalade
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

For The Orange Glaze:

• 2 lb powdered sugar
• 6 tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 dash salt

How To Make This Orange Cinnamon Rolls:

1. Roll the dough: Roll out the cinnamon roll dough into a long rectangle. Spread the orange marmalade evenly over the dough. Pour the melted butter over the top and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly. Add a sprinkle of kosher salt.
2. Roll and cut: Starting from the long side farthest from you, carefully roll the dough toward you, keeping it tight. Pinch the edge to seal. Cut the roll into 1 to 1 1/2-inch slices and place them in buttered pans.
3. Let the rolls rise: Allow the rolls to rise for at least 20 minutes in a warm place.
4. Bake the rolls: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown but not overly brown.
5. Make the glaze: While the rolls are baking, mix together the powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, orange juice, and a dash of salt. Thin the glaze with more milk or orange juice if needed until it’s pourable.
6. Glaze the rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven, immediately drizzle the orange glaze over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

• Make sure to roll the dough tightly to keep the rolls from falling apart when cutting and baking.
• Allow the rolls to rise for at least 20 minutes to ensure they bake up light and fluffy.
• Don’t overbake the rolls. Take them out when they’re golden brown, so they stay soft inside.
• Adjust the thickness of the glaze to your liking by adding more milk or orange juice until it reaches your desired consistency.
• For an extra citrusy flavor, add a bit of orange zest to the marmalade or glaze.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

Storing in the Fridge: Let the cinnamon rolls cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing: Freeze the rolls in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
