Step-by-Step Instructions for Fluffy Orange Rolls
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and instant yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add melted unsalted butter, whole milk, the egg, egg yolk, granulated sugar, grated orange zest, and salt.
  3. Gradually fold in all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Shape it into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  6. Mix melted butter, granulated sugar, orange juice, and extra orange zest in a small bowl for the filling.
  7. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick and spread the orange filling evenly across.
  8. Slice the dough into strips, roll them into spirals, and place in a buttered muffin pan.
  9. Cover the muffin pan and let the rolls rise in a warm area for 30-45 minutes.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Mix sifted powdered sugar with orange juice for the glaze, and drizzle it over warm rolls.
  12. Serve and enjoy these delightful treats warm.
