Teeny Tiny Orange Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 12 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
- 12 cup lukewarm low-fat milk (scalded then cooled)
- 13 cup sugar
- 13 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3 12 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 cup brown sugar
- 14 cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl.
- Stir in milk, sugar, butter, salt, egg and 2 cups of the flour.
- Beat until smooth.
- Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
- Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up.
- Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 1/2 hours.
- (dough is ready if an indentation remains when touched).
- Punch down dough.
- Separate dough into quarters and roll each section out into flat rectangles about as thick as a flour tortilla.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the filling.
- Spread about a quarter of the mixture on the flat sheet of dough and roll the dough up jellyroll style.
- Slice each finished roll into small sections, each section being a finished miniature cinnamon roll (slices depend on your preference and conditions.
- You can make larger cinnamon rolls or smaller ones, almost as thin as cookies.
- Its up to you.)
- Place each finished cinnamon roll slice on end (one of the cut ends down on the baking sheet) and continue with each of the quarters of dough.
- Allow rolls to rise for about 35-40 minutes, then bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes (small rolls, like mine) or 20-30 minutes for standard or jumbo sized rolls.
- For the glaze, mix together a tablespoon of melted butter, a tablespoon of milk or cream, a teaspoon of orange extract (or almond extract) and 2-4 cups powdered sugar, depending on how thick you want your glaze to be.
- You can also add a drop of food coloring to the mix, like I did for my orange rolls.
- Glaze the rolls as soon as they're out of the oven to seal in the softness.
- Let them cool for a few minutes then devour!
