Orange Roll Recipe

This is the best orange roll recipe I have ever made! It is from an old cook book and I have been making them for 30 years.

They are perfect for any holidays! 

orange roll recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg dry yeast
¼ c. lukewarm water

1 1/2 cubes butter melted
2 tsp. salt
½ c. sugar
1 ½ cups warm water
5 cups flour
2 eggs

Directions

First you need to dissolve yeast in 1/4 C lukewarm water. Not boiling hot water because it will kill the yeast. The yeast will start to bubble.

In a mixing bowl, Pour 1 1/2 cups very warm water over butter, salt and sugar; cool to lukewarm

Add bubbling yeast and 2 ½ cups flour and mix well. Add beaten eggs and remaining flour. .

The dough will be very sticky.

Cover bowl with a towel and let rise about 1 hour.

Then punch dough down into bowl and let rest for about 10 min. At this point you can put the bowl in refrigerator over night.

If you do not refrigerate the dough you can skip to the roll and bake section.

Roll rise and bake

If you refrigerated your dough, TWO and HALF HOURS before baking, take out the dough and let come to room temperature. Take out half of the dough and roll the sticky dough into some flour until it is not sticky. Now the dough will be ready to be rolled out.

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
