Orange Marmalade Sweet Rolls


Marmalade Sweet Rolls

*
In glass bowl:

*
*1/2 cup warm Water

*1  tablespoons Yeast

*1/4 teaspoon Sugar

*
Let sit until foamy.

*
Combine the following in bread mixer:

*
*3/4 cup Milk, I like to use reconstituted dry milk, heated

*1/2 cup Butter flavored Shortening

*1/2 cup Sugar

*2 Eggs

*1 teaspoon Salt

*2 cups Wheat Flour or White Wheat Flour

*
Combine the heated milk and shortening.  Then add sugar, eggs and salt mix until just combined.

*

Slowly add in the flour to coat ingredients.

*

Add the  foamy yeast mixture, mix  until combined.

*
Then slowly add:

*
*2 3/4 cups All-purpose Flour, add more as needed

*

Filling:

*Using 1/2 Butter Flavored Sortening -1/2 softened Butter, spread in a thin layer over rolled dough

*1/2 Jar 16 ounce Marmalade

*Brown Sugar, for sprinkling

*
In a stand mixer, mix 8-10 minutes, using a dough hook until a slightly sticky ball of dough.  Add extra flour if needed but dough should be slightly sticky. (You can also mix and knead the bread dough by hand.)

*
After  mixing / kneading the bread, cover with a damp cloth and let rise 1   1/2 hours or until doubled in size. Roll out dough and spread: shortening/butter over rolled out dough, marmalade and brown sugar sprinkled on top.

*
Begin with the long side of the rolled out dough with filling and big enough to roll towards the opposite long side, like a jelly roll.

*
Cut into 1 inch rolls with dental floss or knife. Place cut rolls on a half baking sheet and let rise until double in size or about 35 minutes placing in a warm spot like a sunny window and covering rolls with a slightly damp cloth. (I used 2 pans (15 x 10  1/2 and 13 x 9  1/2) and I doubled this recipe.)

*
Pre-heat oven to 350* F. and bake Marmalade Sweet Rolls 18-20 minutes at 350* F.

*
Makes about 20-25 Marmalade Sweet Rolls.
