How to make Orange Marmalade Cinnamon Rolls
Prepare the Dough
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to an 18- x 12-inch rectangle.
Spread butter-marmalade mixture over surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at one long end, roll up dough into a log.
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.
Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place (80°F) until puffy and almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover rolls; gently brush with remaining 1/4 cup marmalade. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar and orange zest and juice in a small bowl until smooth; drizzle over rolls.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour during kneading.
For a stronger orange flavor, add more orange zest to the glaze.
