Orange Rolls in Cast Iron Skillet

 
 
I saw the picture of these rolls on the cover of Taste of the South, annual cast-iron issue,  and knew I had to give the recipe a try.  Somehow I've been on an orange kick lately and am so glad that my hubby has been freezing the zest for me.  It sure has come in handy.  I've adapted this recipe for a Kitchen Aid mixer.   The flavor of these rolls is exceptional!!  Here's the recipe:

My bloggy buddy, Marsha, from The Better Baker, sent me some
Orange Spice tea to try.  Thanks, Marsha! It was perfect with
these rolls.  My daughter gifted me with the cute mug
 several years ago.
 
1 cup warm water (about 120 degrees)
3 1/2 cups flour
6 T. unsalted butter, softened
1 package. active dry yeast (or 2 1/4 t.)
3 T. sugar
2 t. salt
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
2 T. orange zest
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/2 t. ground ginger

Icing

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 T. butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar

1.  In the bowl of the mixer, combine warm water, flour, butter, yeast, sugar, salt, dry milk powder, and orange zest.  Beat at low speed until combined and then use the dough hook and mix for about 4 minutes.  Spray the sides of the bowl with nonstick spray and lightly spray the top of the dough.  Cover and let rise in a warm place, until doubled for about 1 hour.

2.  Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a lightly floured surface.  Roll into a 20 x 12-inch rectangle.  In a small bowl, stir together the marmalade and the ginger.  Spread evenly over dough.  Beginning on one long side, roll tightly into a log.  Slice into 8 rolls (I made 12 rolls in order to not have such large ones.)

3.  Spray a 10-inch cast- iron skillet with nonstick spray.  Place rolls in pan; cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

4.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake rolls until light brown, about 35 minutes.

5.  In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed of mixer.  Add powdered sugar on low speed and then beat on high until fluffy.  Spread icing over warm rolls.  (This is a very thick icing.  If you like a thinner one, add a little milk.)

  17. Hi Kitty,
    its really hard to see this photos without the possibility to enjoy just one finger tip from this super yummy looking icing. I am so craving for that treat. I will bake it for myself next time. And then I will eat it all alone! LOL Thank you for sharing your special recipes and for your sweet comment on my snow lady. She is already gone now. What a luck she had her tea already.
    Best greetings, Johanna

  19. These orange rolls look super delicious! I haven't tried baking like this in an iron skillet, but they look wonderful!

  20. I love orange rolls, and these look like real beauties. How interesting that they contain ginger and a healthy portion of marmalade. I've made orange rolls in the past, but they've only had the juice and zest. I just got a bunch of Seville oranges to make marmalade, so I'm going to try these. Yummy!

  24. Hi Kitty, I just wanted you to know that I will be featuring this amazing looking recipe as my personal pick this Friday! :) I am learning to overcome my fear of yeast, one batch of crescents at a time, and can't wait to try these. I have a cast iron skillet calling their name! :)
    Thanks for linking up to Weekend Potluck...
