I added orange zest and orange juice to the glaze and added some cream cheese. This made the glaze into more of a frosting. It was delicious. These rolls are really good! I found the recipe to be very comprehensive for someone like myself who has worked very little with yeast. My BF loved these rolls. I would highly suggest this recipe! Thank you for posting this wonderful recipe.

I made these this morning for a group meeting of our condo club. The meeting was for 3 PM. By 3:30 there wasn't a single one left!!! Everyone went crazy over these! Several took the recipe home. They are very light and very very delicious!

These are wonderful orange rolls! Had my In-laws over and they really loved these rolls. It was nice to make a different kind of roll then cinnamon rolls. Thanks MizzNezz

These rolls are fabulous! I made them for my Real Estate partner and his roommates and they have been begging me to make them again ever since then!

DEELLIICIIOUSS!! My family absolutely adores home made cinnamon rolls(cin,sugar kind) and these were right up their with our recipe for those. The rolls rose nice and high and had a wonderful taste. The filling leaked out a bit and so we had a nice crust on the bottom and the frosting was to die for! My mom who has been baking for over fifty years said "We should save that glaze recipe." The only thing I can on the lesser side is that I wish there would have been a bit more orange flavor, the lemon in the frosting shown through a bit more than the orange but that could have been my rind. This recipe is a must try for all IMHO!

These are so yummy! I was really impressed. I wanted to make orange rolls and this was the first recipe I tried. I was thinking I would have to try several recipes before finding one I'd like--not the case! These are fantastic! I did not have quite enough orange rind so I added a little orange flavoring to the filling which worked fine. Warning --these are addicting!

These are FANTASTIC! Like other reviewers, I also used butter instead of shortening, and baked them in three round non-stick cake pans. Two words of warning - the first one is that this recipe makes a lot of rolls, so be prepared to share them! Believe me, the people you give them to will come back to you with great praise. The second word of warning is that you must get these out of the pan(s) quickly. I didn't, and they stuck (and I do mean STUCK) bigtime, even with well-greased non-stick pans. To resolve the sticking, I put the pans on the warming burner on my stove and was able to loosen them, but it was a very scary 25 minutes of getting them out without damaging them. I also made an Orange Cream Cheese frosting with 4 oz cream cheese, 4 Tbsp butter, 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp fresh orange juice, 1/2 tsp orange extract and a dash of orange rind. No lemon. Being from Florida, I have to confess I used awesome 'fresh off the tree' Orlando Tangeloes, which have a very rich and sweet flavor, both in the rind and in the juice. This is a truly great recipe that I expect to make again. Thanks, MizzNezz! KK

I made these for Christmas morning (made the dough the day before, allowed it to rise all day in the fridge, formed the rolls the night before and let them proof in the pan in the fridge overnight. They were delicious and VERY easy to make! These rolls will become a staple at our brunches. Thanks.

MizzNezz, I really enjoyed these orange rolls for breakfast this morning! Wow, I'd love to eat another, but since I made 12 larger rolls rather than 30, I think 1 should be my limit (at least for the moment...). I had some leftover cream cheese frosting to which I added a bit of orange juice and that topped these nicely. I used 1 c soy flour and 2 1/2 c bread flour, and used light butter and part splenda in the filling to good effect. Thanks for posting this delicious recipe. I was ready for something different from cinnamon rolls, and these really hit the spot. I can see varying the filling, adding lime or lemon zest instead of orange, or flavoring with nutmeg rather than citrus. Thanks for posting!
