Last month I traveled to All Steak in Cullman, Alabama, to try their “world famous” orange rolls. (I even wrote about it here.) Some people go crazy over All Steak’s rolls which are made with thin ribbons of dough rolled tightly up with an orange-y syrup poured over top. I prefer for my rolls to be made with a light and fluffy dough, so I set out to make some orange rolls that are just that – fluffy. To top them off, I prefer a cream cheese icing.
I started off by making orange sugar for the filling. There is only a light filling in these rolls. If you like them really sweet, you can double the recipe and use brown sugar for a more intense filling.
The dough is basically a clone for Texas Roadhouse rolls. I like to place the ingredients in my bread machine and let it do all of the hard work. Once the dough cycle has finished, I roll the dough out into a rectangle, spread butter on the dough, and then sprinkle it with the orange sugar. I then roll the rectangle up and then slice it. I place the slices into a pan that has been prepared with non-stick spray.
Don’t have a bread machine? Don’t worry. You can still make them. Click here to read an article on Taste of Home on how to convert bread machine recipes to regular.
I let them rise until they doubled and then bake them until they are golden.
Once they have cooled, I make an orange creme icing to drizzle over the top. It is made with some cream cheese and freshly grated orange rind. Oh my! I love the icing on top.
