Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 medium oranges, zested and juiced
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1 (1-pound) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed according to package directions
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup pecans, chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together orange juice and raisins; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 16x10-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter onto dough, and sprinkle brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and half of zest onto dough. Drain raisins, reserving juice; sprinkle raisins over dough.
- Starting at one long side, tightly roll up dough, jelly roll style. Moisten dough edge with water, and seal. Cut roll into 2-inch-thick slices, and place on prepared pan, letting slices touch.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add confectioners’ sugar to another small bowl, and whisk in just enough reserved orange juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a thick but drizzly icing. Stir in remaining orange zest, and drizzle icing over warm rolls. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If the bread dough is springing back when you're trying to roll it out, let the dough stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before rolling again.
