Directions to Make One Hour Cinnamon Orange Rolls:

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Dough

    Heat milk and butter until warm (not hot) and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add yeast and sugar, stirring until dissolved. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
    Mix in orange juice, egg, salt, and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour and knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes.

  1. Step 2: Make the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  1. Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

    Roll the dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
    Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 10 minutes.

  1. Step 4: Bake the Rolls

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
    Step 5: Prepare the Frosting

    In a bowl, beat softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.

  1. Step 6: Frost and Serve

    Spread the frosting over warm rolls and serve immediately. Enjoy the citrusy sweetness!
