Orange Rolls

Orange Rolls
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
3 t. salt
6 cups flour
2 eggs
2 T (2 packages) yeast
1/2 cup warm water

Filling:
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
grated peel of one orange
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
juice of one orange

1. Stir milk, sugar, oil, and salt until sugar is completely dissolved. Add 2 cups of the flour and beat well. Add 2 eggs and stir in.
2. Dissolve the yeast in warm water and add to flour mixture. Mix in the remaining 4 cups of flour.
3. Put some flour on a pastry board or counter and knead until dough is smooth and not sticky (more flour may be added if sticky). Put dough into greased bowl and let rise until double (about an hour) in a warm place.
4. Divide dough into 3 parts and roll each into a circle. Spread with 1/3 of the filling mixture and roll up into a log. Cut each log into discs (like cinnamon rolls). Cover and let rise at least 1 hour in a warm place.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Do not overcook! Pour on glaze when rolls are still warm.

 Yum!! These were so yummy. It was a lot of work though. The original recipe says to divide the dough into 6 parts and then cut each part into 8 wedges. Not sure it was entirely worth all that work. It would have been much easier to do it the way this recipe says that I revised and divide the dough into 3 parts and cut them up like cinnamon rolls. Yes, this makes almost 50 rolls...so if you're cooking for a large group then this recipe is great. But if you cooking for a little family like mine, I would definitely half this. I gotta give some away! Also, for the glaze, the juice of one orange was not nearly enough. I'd say 2 oranges or some orange juice.
