Orange Sticky Buns Recipes

ORANGE SWEET ROLLS

Steps:

• For the dough: In a large saucepan over a low heat, heat the milk, oil and granulated sugar until warm but not hot (if you have a candy thermometer, it should be 125 degrees F). Add the yeast and 4 cups of the flour and stir together. Cover the pan and leave to rise for at least an hour. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• For the filling: Roll the dough into a long rectangle, about 30 inches wide by 10 inches deep. You'll want it to be as thin as you can get it so you can add plenty of goo. Drizzle the melted butter all over the surface of the dough. Use your fingers to smear it all around so that it coats evenly.
• Spread the orange marmalade all over the buttered dough, distributing as evenly as you can. Sprinkle plenty of brown sugar all over the marmalade. Finish with a light sprinkling of salt to offset the sweetness.
• Using both hands in a back-and-forth motion, gradually roll the dough towards you into one long log. Pinch the seam to seal it. Then slice the log-o'-dough into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the rolls in a buttered baking dish and allow them to rise for 20 minutes.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
• While the rolls are baking, make the icing: Add the orange zest and juice to a bowl. Add the powdered sugar and salt. Splash in the milk. And some more melted butter because the recipe doesn't already have enough. Just kidding on that last part. Whisk it together until it's nice and smooth and lovely. Your kitchen smells like oranges!
• Pull the rolls out of the oven when they're golden brown, and drizzle on the icing right off the bat. The piping hot rolls will suck that gorgeous icing right down into their crevices and the whole thing pretty much becomes a miracle. Serve them warm.

ORANGE BUNS

Steps:

• Stir butter and 1 teaspoon sugar into the hot milk until butter is melted. When mixture is lukewarm, stir in yeast and set aside for 5 minutes.
• When mixture is creamy, transfer to a large mixing bowl. Mix in 2 cups of bread flour. Add 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, orange juice, orange zest, and salt and beat until combined. Add remaining flour, mixing well after each addition, until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Knead for about 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. If time permits, you can punch dough down, cover it, and let it rise again.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Cut dough into 3 balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
• Shape each piece of dough into braided loaves or buns; place on baking sheets. Let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Bake until rolls or loaves are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes for individual buns, about 20 minutes for braids. Frost rolls, if desired (see Cook's Note) or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Combine the yeast mixture with the buttermilk, eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Dough should remain soft and slightly sticky. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 12x7 inch rectangle. Spread each half with 1 tablespoon softened butter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Roll up halves, beginning at wide side. Seal well by pinching the seams. Cut each roll into 12 slices.
• Coat two 9 inch round cake pans each with 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons raisins and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Place 12 dough slices in each pan, leaving a small space between slices. Cover and let rise until doubled.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Invert pans onto plates and serve.

ORANGE CREAM STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir together sugar, pudding mix (dry), butter, 1 tablespoon of the orange peel and the orange juice; set aside.
• In medium bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; stir in Bisquick mix and remaining 1 tablespoon orange peel until soft dough forms. On surface generously dusted with Bisquick mix, gently roll dough in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape into ball; knead about 20 times or until smooth. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with additional Bisquick mix (up to 1/4 cup).
• Roll or pat dough into 15x9-inch rectangle. Spread 3/4 of the pudding mixture over dough. Beginning at 15-inch side, roll up dough tightly. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Cut into 9 slices.
• In ungreased 9-inch square pan, spread remaining pudding mixture evenly; sprinkle evenly with almonds. Place dough slices slightly apart on mixture. Cover; let rise in warm place (such as on cooling rack placed over bowl of warm water) 25 to 30 minutes or until double in size.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down onto pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over buns 1 minute; remove pan. Serve buns while warm.

ORANGE PECAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400.
• In small bowl, combine margarine, 1 tablespoon chopped pecans, orange zest and honey; mix well. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons chopped pecans in bottom of 8 or 9 in square baking pan.
• Separate dough into ten biscuits.
• Separate each biscuit into 2 layers.
• Spread top of 10 biscuit halves with 1 teaspoon of orange honey mixture.
• Top each with remaining biscuit halves and press together to form 10 filled biscuits. Seal edges.
• In a gentle manner, pull then twist each biscuit with your hands about 4-5 times to form 3 1/2 inch twisted rope (kind of like wringing out wet clothes but in a gentle way). Once this is done, wrap the rope around your finger and place formed rolls in baking pan.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, orange juice and vanilla.
• Cook over high hear until sugar is melted and syrup begins to boil, stirring constantly. Spoon over rolls.
• Bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool in pan 2 minutes, invert onto serving plate. serve warm.
