Orange Morning Buns
An orange morning bun is a type of pastry that is similar to a cinnamon roll. The dough is made with flour, yeast, sugar, and butter, and is typically flavored with orange zest and juice.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsps instant yeast
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the softened butter and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan until warm, but not hot. Stir in the orange juice and zest.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a smooth dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and orange zest.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
- Brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the top.
- Roll the dough up tightly into a log, then slice it into 12 even pieces.
- Place the buns in a greased baking dish and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve the orange morning buns warm, with a cup of coffee or tea on the side!
