Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1 1 Envelope Active Yeast if using bulk yeast it equals 2 1/4 .
- 3 Tbsp Warm Water
- 3 Tbsp Orange Juice
- 1/2 tsp grated orange peel
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 Large egg beaten
- 1 3/4 Cups all purpose flour sifted if you want, but don't have to
- 3 Tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 can Cherry Pie Filling You can use any kind you like
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp milk
Instructions
- Add warm water to a large bowl, then sprinkle your yeast on top. You can mix it up a little. Then let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Zest your Orange while you wait for your yeast to proof. Then after you zest, cut your orange in half and squeeze the juice out of it into a small bowl for the recipe.
- Add the Orange Juice, Orange Peel, Sugar, Salt, Melted Butter and Egg to the bowl with your proofed yeast in it. Stir in 1 Cup of the flour and mix until smooth.
- Then gradually stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size. About 1 hour
- After dough has risen, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a large rectangle. No perfectionism here! Just do the best you can!
- After you’ve rolled your dough out, spread with your cherry filling. Leave about 1/2 inch to 1 inch around the edges. The Cherry Filling is a little messy, but OH SO DELISH!
- Roll up long side length wise
- Cut into one-inch slices and place in a lightly greased 8-inch round pan or 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish. I used a quiche pan. Let rise again until doubled if you want. I did not let rise and they still turned out perfect and rose nicely in the oven.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in 375 degree oven.
- Mix your powdered sugar and milk for icing. Start with 1 tsp. at a time for milk.
- Now pour your Icing over your rolls!
- Serve warm or cold
