Ingredients
- Milk
- 1 cup, warmed to 110°f
- Active dry yeast
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet)
- Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup, divided
- Large eggs
- 2, at room temperature
- All-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 cups, plus extra for dusting
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick), softened
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon
- Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons, freshly grated
- Powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it reaches 110°F. Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast over the milk, allowing it to sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, eggs, flour, and salt. Add the milk and yeast mixture, stirring until a rough dough forms.
- Incorporate the softened butter into the dough and knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Evenly sprinkle the ground cinnamon and orange zest over the rolled-out dough.
- Carefully roll the dough into a log, sealing the edges, and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
- Place each piece in a greased muffin tin, cut side up, and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips
- For an extra touch, try adding a glaze made from mixing powdered sugar with a bit of orange juice for drizzling over the cooled buns.
- Feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.
