The Best Orange Cinnamon Rolls 🍊 Yield: 12–14 buns Dough 500 g all-purpose flour (3¾–4 cups / 17.6 oz) 90 g sugar (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp / 3.2 oz) 7 g instant yeast (2¼ tsp / 0.25 oz) or 20 g fresh yeast (0.7 oz) 8 g fine salt (1¼ tsp / 0.28 oz) Zest of 1 large orange (finely grated) 1 large egg (≈50 g / 1.8 oz, room temperature) 250 ml whole milk (1 cup / 8.5 fl oz), lukewarm (30–35 °C / 85–95 °F) 80 g unsalted butter (5½ tbsp / 2.8 oz), very soft Orange–Cinnamon Filling 80 g unsalted butter (5½ tbsp / 2.8 oz), very soft 70 g light brown sugar (⅓ cup, packed / 2.5 oz) 1½ tsp ground cinnamon 3–4 tbsp orange jam (45–60 g / 1.6–2.1 oz) Pinch of salt Finish 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) Method Dough In the mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, milk, egg, and orange zest. Knead with the dough hook on low speed for 2–3 minutes until a rough dough forms. Add salt. Increase to medium-low speed and knead 5–6 minutes until smoother. Add butter gradually, one tablespoon at a time. Once incorporated, knead 8–10 minutes more until the dough is elastic, glossy, and pulls cleanly from the bowl (windowpane stage). First Rise Shape into a ball, place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise at room temperature until doubled (60–90 minutes). Option: Cold ferment overnight (8–12 hours) in the refrigerator for deeper flavor. Bring to cool room temperature before shaping. Filling Mix butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, orange jam, and salt until smooth and spreadable. Shape Roll dough into a rectangle about 35 × 45 cm (14 × 18 inches). Spread filling evenly. Fold the dough lengthwise into thirds. Gently roll to even thickness. Cut into 4 cm (1½ inch) strips. Cut each strip into 3 strands, leaving about 1 cm (½ inch) attached at the top. Braid and roll into a ball (as in the video). Arrange in a muffin pan. Second Rise Cover loosely and proof until puffy and airy, 45–60 minutes. Bake Preheat oven to 190 °C (375 °F) or 170 °C (340 °F) fan. Brush with egg wash. Bake 14–16 minutes, until golden and fragrant. For extra shine, brush warm buns lightly with simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, briefly boiled).#cinnamonroll #orangebun #baking #Recipe #comfortfood - @charmfulkitchen
