Homemade Orange Sweet Rolls

The recipe is a combination of Joanna Gaines Magnolia Table Cookbook and Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook. You can check out my other recipe from her book, Fresh Orange Scone Recipe.

This is a perfect morning breakfast treat, and the orange gives it a fantastic twist. The great thing about these homemade orange sweet rolls is that they do not have yeast, and so there is no rising or waiting period. Hip Hip Hooray for an easy cinnamon roll recipe. My daughter knows how to make these delicious rolls.

I’m happy to inform you that today there are a few more recipes besides mine. My friends are sharing their Magnolia Table inspired recipes too.

This homemade orange sweet roll recipe is best right out of the oven. They are the soft and gooey sweetness that warms the tummy. I can’t help but think that they would be wonderful to wake up to on Christmas morning. This idea is so doable since they are quicker to make than the traditional cinnamon rolls.

And isn’t this the cutest baking dish? When you make these homemade orange sweet rolls make sure to bake them in a bigger pan. I only used this dish since it is easy to photograph. I believe this pan comes in a bigger size.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1¼ cups buttermilk
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 2 orange zest finely grated

To Make the Rolls

  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk buttermilk and 2 tablespoons melted butter together in a small bowl.
  • Add liquid to dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until liquid is absorbed (dough will look stringy), about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured counter and knead until smooth.
  • Pat dough into 12 by 9-inch rectangle. Brush dough with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with filling, leaving ½-border around edges of the dough. Press filling into the dough.

  • Brush the tops of rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • Bake until edges are golden brown, about 23-25 minutes.
  • Let rolls cool for 5 minutes before icing.

Cinnamon Filling

  • Combine sugars, cinnamon, cloves, walnuts, and salt in a small bowl. Add melted butter and stir with a fork until mixture resembles wet sand; set filling mixture aside.

Glaze

  • While the buns cool, in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, and vanilla. whisk in enough orange juice to make a soft glaze that drips in a wide ribbon off the whisk. Drizzle over the slightly cooled rolls.

Our home is bursting with wonderful scents like cinnamon and orange. My husband is working from home these days, and we take little breaks in our workday. He now has a cup of tea waiting for me with one of these sweet rolls. Yes, he is getting a bit spoiled since I recently baked some Pumpkin Bread! Oh well, to offset all my baking we spend a lot of time walking and hiking. Soon, we will be taking up running and entering marathons to support my baking obsession!

Cheers,

    Subbed Allspice for cloves, omitted walnuts. I made your (brown) butter glaze with 2 c of homemade powdered sugar since hubby likes traditional rolls. It made 10 HUGE rolls and they tasted fantastic. Thank you!

    Can these be assembled the day before baking?

      Hi Yesim,
      Since it has baking powder in it, I would say it should be baked after assembling. I could be wrong, so maybe give it a try?
