Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Additional melted butter for brushing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing the mascarpone cheese, orange zest, powdered sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the mascarpone filling evenly over the surface of the dough.
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and arrange the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the dish with a clean towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Optional: Drizzle with additional orange glaze or powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
