Orange Cinnamon Rolls

I wanted to make something different for breakfast one morning and decided to replace the milk in this recipe with orange juice!

They turned out great, the frosting was a bit runny but other than that they were perfect!

Orange Cinnamon Rolls


Ingredients:

dough:
1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup of white whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of orange juice
2 tablespoons of sugar

filling:
1/3 cup of dark brown sugar
1/4 cup of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 tablespoons of melted butter-set aside

frosting:
1 stick of butter, softened
3 cups of powdered sugar
6 tablespoons of orange juice

1. In a small bowl mix the filling ingredients (except butter) and set aside
2. In a medium bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with fork.
3. Pour melted butter and orange juice over flour mixture and mix well to form a dough.
4. Knead dough and press into a 10 X 5 rectangle that is about 1/8th of an inch think.
5. Spread dough with melted butter (that was set aside for the filling) and sprinkle filling on top.  Do not get too close to the edges.
6. Roll dough up and cut into 8 pieces.  To do this evenly I cut the roll in half, then cut each of those halves into half again and then cut each of those halves into half again!
7. Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray and place rolls in pan.  It is okay if they touch, we used an 8 X 8 pan.
8. Bake at 400 degrees for about 18 minutes.
9. While baking beat together frosting ingredients and spread on warm rolls.
