Description
Scrumptious, sweet and citrus-y orange roll heaven.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons yeast
- 2 teaspoons + 1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
- 1 cup warm water + 4 cups water, divided
- 14 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup instant powdered milk
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup butter, melted
Instructions
Combine yeast, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1 cup warm water–110-115 degrees F. and set aside (use a medium bowl because this will overflow a small one. Trust me.)
In a large bowl mix 4 cups flour, 1/2 cup instant powdered milk, 4 cups water, 1 1/3 cups sugar, 3 beaten eggs and 4 teaspoons of salt.
Mix in 1 cup melted butter. Add in yeast mixture and mix well.
Stir in 10 cups of flour. This will probably be really sticky so you could add in a cup or so more of flour. Just remember you will be kneading this so you will be incorporating more flour then.
Dump onto floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Place in a large, lightly greased bowl cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled.
Punch down and divide dough in half. Roll out half of dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.;At this point you can make cinnamon rolls or orange rolls (see next recipe).
Use the other half of the dough to make bread or rolls and bake them at 350 degrees F.
Bread–30-40 minutes, rolls–15 minutes.
