Description

Ingredients

• 3¾ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1½ teaspoons sea salt
• 1½ teaspoons active dry yeast
• ¾ cup lukewarm water
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
• ¼ cup honey
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon orange zest
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and yeast.
• Add water, eggs, honey and melted butter to the flour mixture, stirring everything until it comes together to form a shaggy ball. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and put it in a warm place to rise for 2 hours. At this point, the dough will be very sticky; transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or up to 5 days so it will be easier to handle.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugars, cinnamon and orange zest. Set aside.
• Once the dough has chilled and is easier to handle, transfer it to a floured work surface. Fold the dough over 3-4 times to develop the gluten. Then let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Roll out dough into a ½-thick rectangle. Brush the entire surface with the melted butter. Sprinkle filling in an even layer over the top of the dough and then roll it up lengthwise into a long log. Use a serrated knife to cut the dough into 6 equal segments.
• Butter 6 jumbo muffin cups. Place the segments into the muffin cups, cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until the dough is puffed, 1-2 hours.
• When the dough has almost finished rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Remove the rolls from the muffin cups and let cool completely.
