Instructions
Orange Rolls
Preheat oven to 375.
Beat orange marmalade, brown sugar, orange zest, and ginger with mixer until creamy and smooth.
Unroll French bread dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle that’s about 1/4-inch thick.
Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter over the surface of the dough, then spread the orange marmalade mixture over the bread dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Starting with the long side furthest from you, gently but tightly roll up dough, leaving a border. When you get almost to the edge, moisten your finger with water and use it to seal the edge of the dough to the roll. Flip the log over seam side down on a cutting board.
Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices and place in a lightly greased pan. Brush top and sides of dough with remaining tablespoon of melted butter. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden.
Frost the rolls with Cream Cheese Icing or Glaze while still warm and serve immediately.
