One hour no yeast orange rolls

One hour no yeast orange rolls are a speedy version of the breakfast favorite topped with an orange glaze, plus instructions for cinnamon rolls.

Twice a year on the first weekend in April and October my church has a broadcast that goes out to members all over the world. It is a big deal and such a wonderful and uplifting experience.

Growing up my dad would make a huge breakfast on Sunday morning that we could eat while we watched. I’ve kept up that tradition and love to make something special for conference weekend.

My go to are pancakes like raspberry pancakes with orange glaze or something savory like sorbian eggs but my kiddos have been begging for rolls.

Dough:

• ▢ 6 cups all-purpose flour

Notes

Swap 1 Tbsp cinnamon for the 2-3 Tbsp orange zest in the filling and use milk instead of orange juice for the icing. If desired, you can also add 1 1/2 cups raisins to the filling for cinnamon raisin rolls.
