Gooey Orange Rolls

My husband had a "boys night" this last Saturday so and I had to find something to entertain myself. I was completely content watching Pride and Prejudice (for about the millionth time) and making these super yummy orange rolls.

Gooey Orange Rolls (make sure to half this)

2 c Hot water (from the tap)
3 c Orange Juice
1 c. sugar
1 T orange Zest
3 T yeast
2/3 c. oil
2 T salt
3 T lemon juice
10-12 c white flour (see why I said to half it... it makes a ton!)

Place hot water, OJ (make sure this is hot/warm), sugar and yeast in a bowl. Mic and let stand for 5 minutes grow. Add oil, lemon juice, and salt. Slowly mix in flour 1 cup at a time (or 1/2 if you are 1/2'ing the recipe). Once flour is mixed in, knead with your dough hook for 4-5 minutes. Dough should be a little sticky (mine was REALLY sticky!!). This makes lighter, fluffier dough. Cover bowl and let rise to the top of bowl. Once dough rises to top, punch down and divide dough in half and roll out dough in large rectangle.

Filling:
1 cude butter
1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding
1/2 c granulated sugar
3 T orange CONCENTRATE - not juice

Melt the butter and OJ together and drizzle half of the micture on the rectangel dough and spread around (save other 1/2 for other rectangle of dough). Sprinkle 1/2 packet of pudding and 1/4 sugar (again saving the rest for the other rectangle). Roll up the dough into a long log, cut 1 inch sections, and place in grease cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 cude butter, softened
1 8 oz. cream cheese
2 T. orange juice CONCENTRATE
1/2 - 3/4 of a 32 oz. bag of powdered sugar

Drizzle over warm rolls and enjoy!

These sound delicious...I'm going to have to try them! Okay, I'm a commenting maniac today.:) But here is another site I thought you might like to look at. Sami Ibarra started this a while ago. I don't think she's posted anything recently, but some of her recipes look yummy. Here you go:
