Quick and Easy Orange Rolls

I made these Orange Rolls for Christmas morning breakfast. They turned out yummy, but I wouldn't really call them "quick". They still had to rise for about an hour even though I thawed them in the fridge overnight. This would be good for a brunch, but not an early morning breakfast unless you wake up super early. I also didn't use the wild orange essential oil called for in the recipe since I don't have any and it was still really good.

Quick and Easy Orange Rolls

12 frozen Rhodes dinner rolls, thawed

grated rind of one orange

1/2 C sugar

Citrus Glaze:

1 C powdered sugar

1 Tbsp melted butter

2 Tbsp orange juice

Mix together until smooth

Add in 2-3 drops Wild Orange Essential Oil or to desired taste (optional but oh so good!)

Thaw dough in the refrigerator over night or 2-3 hours prior to use. Cover with plastic wrap while thawing.

Grate orange rind and mix with sugar. Roll thawed roll in melted butter and then in sugar and rind mixture.

Place on greased cookie sheet or 9 x 13 pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow rolls to double in size – approximately 1 hour. Remove plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Let cool 5 minutes and frost with citrus glaze while warm.
