Directions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 3 ½ C flour, yeast, brown sugar, and salt. Add warmed milk, eggs, vanilla, and butter, using the dough hook. Mix until the flour is completely incorporated, about 5 minutes. The dough should be a slightly sticky, but feel free to add a bit more flour if the dough seems too sticky.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let it set at room temperature for an hour or until it has doubled in size. In the meantime, make the filling - combine the brown sugar, orange zest, and Calicutts Citrus Spiced Sugar in a small bowl.
- Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment.
- When dough is ready, lightly dust your work surface with flour. Turn out the dough, punch it down, and roll it into a rectangle, about 10” x 16”. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough and sprinkle the filling over top.
- Starting with the long edge closest to you, carefully roll the dough into a log, keeping it fairly tight as you go. When you reach the edge, gently pinch the dough along the side to make a seal. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12-15 rolls and place side-to-side in baking dish. Cover and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. While they bake, whisk together the frosting in a medium bowl. Combine the warmed milk, orange juice, vanilla, and cream cheese for about 1-2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Spread on warm rolls and enjoy!
