Instructions
Citrus Dough

Citrus Dough
Using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mix all the ingredients together except the butter until a rough dough is formed . Add the butter and mix on medium speed for 10 minutes until a smooth elastic dough comes together. The dough should come clean off the sides. Cover the dough and allow it to rise at room temperature for 8-10 hours or until the dough is doubled in size. Once doubled in size, punch down the dough and give it a few kneads. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (12 inched x 16 inches). Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top, spreading it evenly over the butter. Cut the dough into 9 individual strips and roll each strip up. Place the rolls into a greased or parchment lined 9inch pan, 8x8 pan, or cast iron skillet. Allow the rolls to rise for 2 hours or until puffy and toughing each other,(they will not double in size). Bake the rolls at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden on top. Let the rolls cool for 10-15 minutes before frosting. Can be served immediately. -
Cinnamon Sugar Filling
In a small bowl mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar, set aside until ready to use. Keep the butter separate from the cinnamon sugar mixture. -
Citrus Cream Cheese Frosting
Using an electric mixer cream together the cream cheese, butter and orange zest. Beat in the powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp. of orange juice at a time until you reach a thick and spreadable consistency.
