To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grab a 9×13 pan, giving it a light spritz with cooking spray. Then, pour in some heavy cream and sprinkle in brown sugar for that perfect sweetness.

Some Things to Keep in Mind!

• Go for Fresh Juice: Using freshly squeezed orange juice will give your rolls the best flavor. It’s like adding a burst of sunshine to your baking!
• Watch Out for the Pith: When zesting the oranges, avoid the white layer or “pith.” It’s bitter and can mess with the yummy orange taste of your rolls. Just stick to the colorful zest!
• Easy on the Mixing: Don’t go overboard with mixing and kneading the dough. Too much muscle can make your rolls tough instead of soft and fluffy. Give it a gentle touch for the perfect texture.
• Flour Power: Keep a little dusting of flour under your dough while you’re rolling it out. This helps keep things from getting sticky and messy on your counter.
• Release the Dough: If your dough starts to stick as you roll it up, no worries! Just slide a butter knife underneath it to gently loosen things up.
• Floss Trick: Want perfectly sliced rolls without squishing them? Grab some plain dental floss and slide it under the dough. It cuts through smoothly, giving you neat slices every time.
• Cool Before Glazing: Let your orange rolls chill for a few minutes before drizzling on the glaze. Sure, you can spread it on while they’re warm, but it might soak in too much. Give it a little time to shine on top!

Guide to Store Leftovers!

1. Cool Completely: Allow the leftover orange rolls to cool completely at room temperature before storing them. This helps prevent condensation inside the container, which can make the rolls soggy.
2. Store Properly: Place the cooled orange rolls in a tightly sealed container or airtight resealable plastic bag. Ensure that the container is sealed properly to keep the rolls fresh.
3. Refrigerate: Store the container of orange rolls in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for longer. The cold temperature of the fridge helps slow down the growth of bacteria, preserving the rolls for a few days.
4. Reheat if Desired: When ready to enjoy the leftover orange rolls, you can reheat them in the microwave or oven. Simply place them on a microwave-safe plate and heat them in 20-30-second intervals until warmed through, or place them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5-10 minutes until heated to your liking.
5. Enjoy Within a Few Days: While the orange rolls will still be delicious the next day, they are best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
