UNIQUE CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm milk, water, sugar and salt. Remove from heat, and mix in the eggs and yeast.
• Measure flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the flour, and pour milk mixture into it. Do not stir. Cover with a lid, and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour melted margarine into flour, and mix well. Add more flour if too sticky. Knead lightly. Cover, and let rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Shape the dough into rolls, and place on a baking sheet. Let rise again for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Bake rolls in a preheated 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) oven for 15 minutes, or until done.

Steps:

• Combine the milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a 1-cup glass measuring cup, stirring to dissolve yeast; let stand 5 minutes.
• Combine the flour, ¼ cup of the butter, salt, orange zest, eggs, and 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar in bowl of heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Add the milk mixture; beat at low speed 1 to 2 minutes or until blended, using the dough hook attachment. Increase speed to medium-low and beat 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth (dough will be soft and slightly sticky). Place the dough in a greased bowl; lightly greased top of dough with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place (80˚ to 85˚F), free from drafts, 45 minutes to 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
• Combine the marmalade, remaining 1/3 cup butter, cinnamon, and remaining ¾ cup sugar in a small bowl.
• Punch the dough down. Turn out a light floured surface; roll into a 15- x 12-inch rectangle (about ¼ inch thick). Spread the marmalade mixture over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, starting at 1 long side. Cut the dough into 15 (1-inch thick) slices, and place in a well-greased 13- x 9-inch pan with sides touching. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or until almost doubled in bulk.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Uncover the rolls, and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven, and cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
• Glaze: Whisk together until blended 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 ½ tablespoons milk, and ¼ teaspoon orange extract. Makes 2/3 cup.
