Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (500g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 1 packet instant yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
- 1 cup whole milk (240ml), warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (60g), softened
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Zest of 2 oranges

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar; sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In another bowl, mix flour and salt. Add melted butter to the yeast mixture, then gradually incorporate dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before drizzling with icing made from whisking powdered sugar and orange juice.
