Orange Rolls

2 large oranges
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 TBSP yeast
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
5 cups flour

Frosting:
Juice from 1 orange
2 TBSP butter
2-3 cups powdered sugar

Put warm water in mixer and add the yeast. Add the zest from one of the orange rinds (I actually would probably zest both oranges next time) and 1/4 cup of juice from the orange. Add eggs, sugar, salt, and flour. Knead well. Let stand 10 min. Knead again. Let rise for 2 hours. Make dough into ropes (from 6-8 inches long and 1/2 to 1 inch thick) and TIE INTO A KNOT. Let rise until double in size. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden on top.

Mix frosting ingredients and brush onto warm rolls.

I've been wanting to make orange rolls for a long time. I'll try these soon!

I would suggest waiting to put the frosting on it until just before serving it. That way the bread doesn't get soggy.
