Tips & Variations

• For a thinner glaze, add more Florida Orange Juice gradually until you reach the desired pourable consistency.
• Use fresh refrigerated dough or homemade dough for best results.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon to the brown sugar for a warm, spicy variation.

Storage

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them longer, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving to restore softness.

FAQs

Can I use fresh orange juice instead of Florida Orange Juice Marmalade?

The marmalade adds both orange flavor and sweetness plus texture, so fresh juice alone won’t provide the same rich topping. For the best flavor and consistency, use the marmalade as directed.

Can I prepare these rolls in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls and let them rise in the pan, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh the next day for optimal taste and texture.

Scale 1x2x3x

Florida Orange Rolls

• ½ cup Florida Orange Juice Marmalade
• ½ cup melted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• Refrigerated dough (enough to make a long rectangle for rolling)
• ½ tsp kosher salt

Florida Orange Glaze

• ¼ cup Florida Orange Juice
• 1 lb powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• ¼ cup milk
• A dash of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated dough into a long rectangle on a flat, lightly floured surface to ensure easy rolling.
2. Add Marmalade: Spread ½ cup Florida Orange Juice Marmalade evenly over the dough rectangle, covering the surface thoroughly to infuse the rolls with citrus flavor.
3. Add Butter and Brown Sugar: Pour ½ cup melted butter uniformly over the marmalade layer, then sprinkle 1 cup brown sugar evenly, followed by ½ teaspoon kosher salt to balance the sweetness.
4. Roll the Dough: Starting at the long side farthest from you, roll the dough tightly toward you, keeping it snug to form a compact roll. Pinch the edges to seal the dough and prevent filling leakage.
5. Cut the Rolls: Slice the roll into 1 to 1½ inch thick rolls and place them neatly into buttered pans, ensuring some space for rising.
6. Let Rolls Rise: Allow rolls to rise at room temperature for at least 20 minutes until slightly puffed.
7. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for optimal baking temperature.
8. Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown without burning.
9. Make the Glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk together ¼ cup Florida Orange Juice, 1 lb powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons melted butter, ¼ cup milk, and a dash of salt until smooth and glossy.
10. Glaze and Serve: Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, drizzle the Florida Orange Glaze over the warm rolls. Serve them warm or at room temperature for best taste.

Notes

• To make the Florida Orange Glaze more pourable, add additional Florida Orange Juice gradually until the desired consistency is achieved.
• Allow the rolls to cool slightly before glazing if you prefer a thicker glaze layer.
• Ensure to keep the dough tightly rolled to prevent filling from spilling during baking.
• Butter the pans well to prevent sticking and help obtain golden crusts.
