Directions

6. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the buttered dough.
7. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
8. Cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
9. Cover the baking dish and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
11. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
12. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest in a small bowl.
13. Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
14. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
