Sweet Dough

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, stir milk, sugar, salt, orange juice, and butter until the butter and sugar dissolve. Cool to lukewarm.
2. In the mixing bowl of your stand mixer, dissolve yeast in 1/3 cup warm water. Add milk mixture, eggs, 5 cups of flour, and orange zest. Beat with a dough hook on speed 2 for 3 minutes.
3. Continue mixing at speed 2, as you add the rest of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Stop mixing when the dough clings to the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl. Lastly, knead on speed 2 for 5 more minutes.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until it’s doubled in size (about 1 hour).
5. After 1 hour, punch the dough down and roll it into a 10 x 30 x 1-inch rectangle on a floured surface.

Cinnamon Filling

1. Place brown sugar, sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and orange zest in a mixer bowl. Mix with a flat beater on speed 2 for 1 minute.
2. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a 30-inch roll, pinching seams together. Cut into 18 1 1/2 inch slices.
3. Place rolls in a greased cake pan, cover, and let rise in a warm space for 1 hour.
4. Bake at 350ºF for about 20 minutes.

Cream Cheese Icing

1. In a stand mixer bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and orange juice until it’s completely combined. Mix in 1 tbsp of orange zest at the end.
2. Once the rolls have cooled for 5 minutes, smear the icing over the top.
