How to make Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls
Prepare the Dough
- Step 1
Stir together yeast, warm water, and 1 teaspoon of the granulated sugar in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Step 2
Add eggs, milk, salt, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, 2 cups of the flour, and 1/2 cup of the butter to the yeast mixture. Beat on low speed just until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Step 3
Replace paddle attachment with dough hook attachment. Add 3 cups of the flour to the mixture; beat on medium speed until dough is smooth but still sticky, about 5 minutes.
- Step 4
Dust a work surface with 1 cup of the flour. Turn dough out onto floured surface. Knead until elastic and just a little tacky to the touch, incorporating flour from work surface into dough and adding up to 1/3 cup additional flour as needed if dough is too sticky.
- Step 5
Transfer to a large bowl lightly coated with cooking spray, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (80°F) until roughly doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Prepare the Filling
- Step 1
Stir together cinnamon, 1/2 cup of the orange marmalade, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup butter in a small bowl until mostly smooth. Set aside.
Assemble and Bake
- Step 1
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to an 18- x 12-inch rectangle.
- Step 2
Spread butter-marmalade mixture over surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at one long end, roll up dough into a log.
- Step 3
Cut crosswise into 15 pieces (about 1 1/4 inches thick each). Arrange rolls in a 13- x 9-inch baking pan lightly coated with cooking spray.
- Step 4
Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place (80°F) until puffy and almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Step 5
Preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover rolls; gently brush with remaining 1/4 cup marmalade. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Step 6
Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Glaze
- Step 1
Whisk together powdered sugar and orange zest and juice in a small bowl until smooth; drizzle over rolls.
- Step 2
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Tricks

For a stronger orange flavor, add more orange zest to the glaze.
FAQS
How do I make Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls from scratch?
To make Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls from scratch, start by activating the yeast with warm water and sugar. Then, mix in eggs, milk, salt, and flour to form a dough. Knead until elastic, let it rise until doubled, and then roll it out. Spread a mixture of butter, orange marmalade, and cinnamon over the dough, roll it up, cut into pieces, and let them rise again before baking at 350°F until golden brown.
Can I make these cinnamon rolls gluten-free?
Yes, you can make gluten-free Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls by substituting the bread flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to help with the dough's elasticity. The texture may vary slightly, but they will still be delicious!
What is the best way to store leftover Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls?
To store leftover Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before freezing.
What can I substitute for orange marmalade in this recipe?
If you don't have orange marmalade, you can substitute it with other citrus preserves like lemon or grapefruit marmalade. Alternatively, you can use orange curd or even a homemade mixture of orange juice and sugar cooked down to a syrupy consistency for a similar flavor.
What pairs well with Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast?
Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. You can also serve them alongside fresh fruit, yogurt, or a light citrus salad to balance the sweetness. For a more indulgent breakfast, consider adding a side of crispy bacon or sausage.
