Orange Cinnamon Rolls

These sweet rolls are infused from top to toe in zesty fresh orange flavor and you’ll never want store-bought again.

The bread roll is soft and fluffy and the perfect vehicle for the orange flavor.
The orange sugar filling is just 3 ingredients, that gets scattered and spread evenly over the rolled out dough.
The orange icing is, again, just 3 simple ingredients, mixed together in a bowl, then poured all over the top of your rolls once baked.

Ingredients in Homemade Orange Rolls

You’ll need typical baking ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs and butter but there are a couple of ingredients to elaborate on.

Oranges: You’ll need 2 large oranges for this recipe. You’ll use all the zest and most of the juice. Make sure to give them a wash first.
Yeast: Instant or active dry yeast are what you’re after here.

How to Make Orange Sweet Rolls

Making orange rolls from scratch doesn’t require too much hands on time (even if you’re kneading by hand) but it does require planning ahead to allow for rising time.

The steps are all simple though and it’s always so therapeutic making bread from scratch.

Make the dough: Melt together butter and some milk, then add orange juice and add it to the dry ingredients.
Knead the dough: In a stand mixer, this only takes about 6-7 minutes or you can do this by hand. The dough is sticky but see my tips below.
Rest: Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size.
Make the filling: Combine the sugar and orange zest in a bowl, using your fingertips to press it together. This will release the oils from the zest, intensifying the flavor. Then add butter.
Form the rolls: Roll the dough out, and scatter over the filling. Roll the dough up and cut 12 slices, then place them cut side up on a greased tray. Let them rise again.
Bake the rolls: Bake for around 24 minutes or until nice and golden on top. Let them cool slightly before mixing the icing ingredients and pouring it over the top. Tips and variations

Can I Make Them Without a Stand Mixer?

You can knead this dough by hand. It will take a little elbow grease and about 10 minutes but it’s not difficult.

This is a sticky dough which is what keeps it nice and soft once they’re baked so try to resist the urge to add flour. I find the easiest way to knead it is to press down with one hand then use a bench scraper in the other hand to lift and fold it so you can press down again.

It’s ready when the dough is smooth and bounces back when you lightly press your finger into it.

Can I Make These Rolls Ahead?

You can make orange rolls ahead of time, part of the way. You can make the dough and leave that covered in the fridge overnight. The next day, let it come to room temperature (about 2 hours) before rolling it out and proceeding.

You can also make it ahead right up until the second rise. So, once you’ve placed the cut rolls into the baking tray, cover it with plastic wrap and let them sit in the fridge overnight. Let them come to room temperature (about 1 hour) before baking.

Homemade orange rolls are best eaten fresh but if you have any leftover, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Give them just a short 8-10 burst in the microwave to fluff up the bread again.

Evenly spread the filling over the dough leaving 1 inch on the longest side uncovered.
Roll up from the longest side nearest you towards the other, as tightly as you can into a long log, then cut into 12 even pieces with a sharp knife.
Place the rolls evenly spaced onto the baking tray cut side up. Let them rest and rise for another 30 minutes.

BAKING

Bake for 22-24 minutes, turning the tray at the halfway mark, until golden.

At some point in your life, I’m guessing, you’ve had the classic french onion dip made from a packet, am I right? I’ll admit there is something about that dip that is just good. Everyone seems to like a great onion dip. But wait till you taste this, you’ll never reach for another packet again!

Combined with savory spices and rich creamy sour cream and cream cheese, it’s texture is incomparable.

French Onion Ingredients

This creamy savory dip is made with ingredients you probably have on hand. If not a quick trip the local grocery store should get you what you need. No special crazy ingredients here. Just a classic dip made with classic ingredients, that will knock your socks off.

Butter: This is to cook the onion in and add flavor.
Onion: I used a small onion.
Salt: Salt helps the onions release their juices to help them cook.
Sugar: This will help caramelize the onions and help give them that golden color.
Cream Cheese: Full fat or low fat cream cheese softened.
Sour Cream: Use a good quality sour cream, low fat or regular.
Worcestershire Sauce: This gives the dip a great savory flavor.
Onion and Garlic Powder: These are the all important seasonings that make it taste amazing.
Salt and Pepper: Add to taste.

How to Make French Onion Dip

Yes, it might take a little longer to make this because you’ll need to caramelize your own onions, but it’ll be so worth it, I promise. You’ll also need some time to allow the onions to cool before mixing it all together. It takes a little bit of time, but after you taste it, you won’t complain at all. Maybe just about how fast it disappears!

Caramelize: In a medium skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Add the onions, salt and sugar. Sauté for 25-30 min. or until the onions are a deep golden brown. Let cool completely.
Mix: In a medium sized bowl add the onions, cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix until combined. Refrigerate till ready to serve.

What’s The Difference Between Caramelizing and Sautéing Onions?

The rich deep golden color and sweet yet still savory flavor of a caramelized onion is hands down one of the most amazing things ever. It can be tricky to caramelize onions without burning them, the secret is low and slow! It will take patience to caramelize your onions, but the taste will be worth it. I promise.

Sauté vs Caramelize: Sautéing onions is done at a higher heat and is meant to just tenderize them and brown the outside. Caramelizing is cooking the onions at a lower heat, slowly coaxing the flavor out of them and allowing the natural sugars to caramelize creating a deep rich flavor.
Do I have to stir the onions? The great thing about caramelizing is that you don’t have to babysit the pan too much. Check on the pan every 2-3 min and give it a good stir
What is the sticky stuff on the bottom of the pan? As the onions cook you’ll notice a dark fond form on the bottom of the pan. That’s part of the caramelization process. Simply scrape the fond back into the onions as they continue to cook. If it starts to build up, use a little bit of water to help deglaze the pan and watch it carefully for burning. If you feel like they are cooking too fast you can always turn down the heat.
How do I know when they are done? Your onions should be a deep brown and soft but not mushy. Taste the onions when you think they’re ready. If you love the flavor, they’re done.
Storing: They will keep in the fridge for about a week, and freeze well too. Now you can make extras and use them in this Easy French Onion Soup or this amazing Skillet French Onion Chicken.

Hints for an Amazing French Onion Dip

Choosing to make this dip for your next event is definitely a step in the right direction. You just can’t go wrong with all the flavor and creaminess. It’s going to be a quick favorite.

What Onions Should I Use? Any onion will do for this recipe. Use yellow, white or even a sweet onion. It’s really up to you on this one.
How small do I chop the Onion? There are two ways to go about the chopping. You don’t want large stringy onion chunks for a dip, it’ll be hard to eat. I chopped my onion before caramelizing it. This also quickens the cooking time for the caramelization. You can also slice and caramelize the onion then chop them, although it might be tougher to cut them nicely.
What do I serve with this dip? The most common and beloved thing to serve this with is a ruffled plain potato chip. But you can also serve it with crackers, pretzels, crusty bread and pita chips. It also goes perfectly with a vegetable tray of carrots, celery, olives, sugar snap peas, peppers or grape tomatoes.

Can I Make this Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can! In fact allowing it to sit overnight in the refrigerator helps the flavors meld together all that much more.

How Long Does Homemade French Onion Dip Last?

This will keep beautifully in the fridge for up to a week. You can use the leftovers in a variety of ways. Try it as a spread for sandwiches, a topping for baked potatoes, or try smothering baked chicken or beef.
