Homemade Orange Rolls Recipe
This recipe for homemade Orange Rolls is so good–we ate almost a whole pan of them ourselves!
It’s a good thing this Orange Rolls recipe makes two 11 x 7 pans worth (I used two 13 x 9 pans) of this sweet and delicious citrusy treat! We were able to give away a few to the neighbors too.
While the original recipe is for a bread machine, it’s just as easy to whip up using your stand mixer. I admit I skipped the second rising time on accident–but still with great results! Only slightly adapted from a 1994 Taste of Home magazine recipe clipping.

Ingredients
Dough Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1/4 Cup Warm Water (110° to 115°)
- 1 Cup Warm Milk (110° to 115°)
- 1/4 Cup Shortening
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Egg
- 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 Cups Flour
FILLING:
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Butter, Softened
- 2 Tablespoons Grated Orange Peel
GLAZE:
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 4 teaspoons Butter, Softened
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Extract
- 4 to 5 teaspoons Orange Juice (I used considerably more to achieve the desired consistency)
Instructions
- Combine Yeast and Water. Let rest for five minutes.
- Add in Milk, Shortening, Sugar, Salt, the Egg, and 3 Cups of Flour.
- Combine. Stir in enough remaining Flour until it forms a soft dough.
- Using the dough hook on my mix master, I let that do the kneading. 6-8 minutes by hand, I did 4-5 minutes via machine.
- Cover and let rise for one hour.
- Meanwhile, combine ingredients for Filling. Set aside.
- After dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it in half.
- Roll each half into a 15 x 10 rectangle.
- Spread half the Filling on each side.
- Roll up by starting on the longest portion. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside.
- Cut into 15 rolls.
- Place rolls into two greased 11 x 7 baking pans. I used 13 x 9 with success. Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes.
- Bake 375* for 20-25 minutes or until very lightly browned.
- Combine Glaze ingredients using enough Orange Juice to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Spread over warm, but not hot, rolls.
