1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk, warmed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

Zest of 2 large oranges

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

For the Filling:

1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 cup orange zest

For the Warm Sour Cream Butter Glaze:

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Zest of 1 orange

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warmed milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

- Stir in the melted butter, eggs, orange zest, and orange juice until well combined.

- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a sticky dough begins to form.

Knead the Dough:

- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Make the Filling:

- In a separate bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest until well combined.

Roll Out the Dough:

- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

- Spread the filling evenly across the dough, leaving a small border on the edges.

Shape the Rolls:

- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal and slice into 12 equal rolls.

- Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish (9x13 inch) and cover. Let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

Bake the Rolls:

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Prepare the Glaze:

- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sour cream, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until melted and smooth.

- Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar, adjusting with milk to reach desired glaze consistency. Add orange zest for extra flavor.

Glaze the Rolls:

- Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool for about 5 minutes before drizzling the warm sour cream butter glaze generously over the top.

Serve and Enjoy:

- Serve warm and enjoy the fluffy, zesty delight of your Orange Rolls with a luscious warm glaze!
