This recipe is awesome! I take care of a woman who has Alzheimer's and she described something along this line. It was a hit with her! When I asked her if it tasted like her Mother's recipe, with tears in her eyes she said yes! I did not have the time to raise overnight. I raised like bread only to more than double. And followed the rest as written. Be forewarned...the 2nd rising is very quick--less than 30 min! Make sure to cut smaller than you think! They were huge, and delicious! I did make a glaze for over the top. "It had an orange sauce over the top." I used the leftover 2 Tb of butter, the juice from the zested oranges, powdered sugar, and about 1/4 tsp almond extract. (They weren't drenched, but had enough flavor work.) Will definitely make again!

These were VERY good! I didn't end up putting the icing on because everyone loved them right out of the pan! Next time though I will make the rolls thicker because it's what the family is used to as my grandmother's caramel rolls were always 3-4 in high.

I absolutely looooved this recipe (so did my fellow staff members). It was a huge success at early breakfast meetings. The first time I made this, I didn't have quite enough orange zest so I used some lemon zest as well and they were delish.

I made an AMAZING frosting for the top: Combine 1 C. confectioners' sugar, 1.5 tablespoons melted butter,1/4 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1.5 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice into a thick frosting. Best rolls EVER!

My bread machine broke and hate working the dough with my hands. This recipe takes some time but if you don't want to kneed its pretty good. I did have to add one cup of flour without it the dough would be way too sticky. Made 24 good size rolls in cupcake pans did one pan orange and the other cinnamon both were good and light, its a preference thing.

So good! I love the dough! I made 2 dozen rolls though and baked them in 2 9x13 glass dishes. These were so light and moist and tasty!!

Followed recipe exactly, delicious and light, but I would have preferred more orange flavoring.

This is a keeper recipe..I agree it should say OVERNIGHT rolls..I too said "SHOOT..I did not want these ready tomorrow!!" so I used more flour..and made 1/2 the batch this am...and the other 1/2 will be tested tomorrow to see if there is any difference in taste or texture...made them small by rolling out much larger and then rolling tightly..LOTS of flavor! baked in round cake pan...LOOKED beautiful when plated and frosted...everyone loved them!

Delicious. I love this as a nice, fresh, spring/summery alternative to Cinnamon Rolls. The dough is great to work with too. Extremely soft and fluffy and delicious.
