Perfect for breakfast or as a yummy snack, these rolls combine the zestiness of Florida orange juice with the comforting richness of buttery sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Florida Orange Rolls

  • ½ cup Florida Orange Juice Marmalade
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 refrigerated dough sheet (approx. 1 lb.)
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt

Florida Orange Glaze

  • ¼ cup Florida Orange Juice
  • 1 lb. powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp. melted butter
  • ¼ cup milk
  • A dash of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out the refrigerated dough into a long rectangle on a lightly floured surface, ensuring even thickness for consistent baking.
  2. Spread Marmalade: Evenly spread ½ cup of Florida Orange Juice Marmalade over the rolled dough, covering the entire surface to infuse citrus flavor.
  3. Add butter and sugar: Pour ½ cup melted butter evenly over the marmalade layer, then sprinkle 1 cup of brown sugar on top, followed by ½ teaspoon of kosher salt for balanced sweetness and flavor.
  4. Roll the dough: Starting at the long side farthest from you, carefully roll the dough tightly toward you, keeping the roll snug. Pinch the edges to seal and prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  5. Slice rolls: Cut the rolled dough into 1 to 1½ inch thick slices, creating individual rolls to be placed into buttered baking pans.
  6. Allow dough to rise: Arrange the rolls in the buttered pans and let them rise for at least 20 minutes in a warm area, allowing the dough to puff up for a light texture.
  7. Preheat oven: While the rolls rise, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
  8. Bake the rolls: Place the pans in the oven and bake the rolls for 15 to 18 minutes until they are golden brown but not overly browned, indicating a perfect bake.
  9. Prepare the glaze: While the rolls are baking, combine ¼ cup Florida Orange Juice, 1 lb. powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons melted butter, ¼ cup milk, and a dash of salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the glaze is smooth and creamy.
  10. Glaze and serve: Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, drizzle the Florida Orange Glaze generously over the warm rolls. Serve warm or at room temperature for optimal flavor enjoyment.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh Florida orange juice marmalade to enhance the citrus flavor.
  • Allow the rolls to rise in a warm, draft-free area to ensure proper dough expansion.
  • If refrigerated dough is not available, homemade yeast dough can be substituted, but rising times will be longer.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
