Ingredients
Scale
Orange Roll Filling
- ½ cup Florida Orange Juice Marmalade
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- Refrigerated dough (enough for a standard roll recipe, about 1 lb)
Florida Orange Glaze
- ¼ cup Florida Orange Juice
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ cup milk
- A dash of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the refrigerated dough into a long rectangle shape, ensuring it is evenly rolled for consistent thickness.
- Add the marmalade: Spread the Florida Orange Juice Marmalade evenly over the dough, making sure to cover the entire surface for full flavor in each bite.
- Sprinkle the filling: Pour the melted butter evenly over the marmalade, then sprinkle the brown sugar and kosher salt across the surface to create a sweet and slightly salty filling.
- Roll the dough: Starting at the long side farthest from you, carefully roll the dough toward yourself, keeping it tight and even; pinch the edges to seal the roll to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Slice the rolls: Cut the rolled dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch thick slices, placing each into a buttered baking pan to prevent sticking and aid browning.
- Let rolls rise: Allow the cut rolls to rise for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, enabling a light and fluffy texture when baked.
- Preheat oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready for baking.
- Bake the rolls: Place the risen rolls in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until they are golden brown but not overly browned to avoid bitterness.
- Make the glaze: During baking, mix together Florida Orange Juice, powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, and a dash of salt until smooth to create the signature Florida Orange Glaze.
- Glaze the rolls: As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, immediately drizzle the fresh orange glaze over the warm rolls to soak in the sweet citrus flavor.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute refrigerated dough with homemade sweet roll dough if preferred.
- Ensure rolls are sliced evenly to promote uniform baking.
- The glaze sets quickly, so pour it over the rolls right after baking.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container; reheat gently before serving to retain softness.
- For a more intense orange flavor, use fresh Florida orange juice in the glaze.
