Orange Rolls

For the dough:
1Tbl. Yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water and 1 tsp. sugar
1 cup warm orange juice
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups flour
For the filling:
2 Tablespoons melted butter
2 Tablespoons orange juice
1Tablespood sugar
For the glaze:
Between 1 1/2 and 2 cups powdered sugar
2 or 3 Tablespoons orange juice
1-2 drops orange oil (if you have it)
1/2 tsp vanilla


Mix all ingredients, except flour, together. Add the 4 cups flour. Mix and knead until all flour is moist. Let raise until almost double. Knead slightly on floured surface and divide in half. Roll into a circle and brush with melted butter mixed with a little orange juice and a Tablespoon of sugar. Cut into
wedges, 12 per circle. Roll up wide end first. Let rise until double. Bake 375 10 minutes.
Make the glaze:  mix the glaze ingredients together until has a thin consistency, for a glaze.  I start with the powdered sugar and slowly add a tablespoon of orange and the vanilla, and then add more orange juice as needed.
