All-time favorite caramel rolls or the goodness of frosted orange rolls--both from the same recipe.
| 4 1/2 |
|
to 5 cups all-purpose flour |
| 1 |
|
cup warm milk (120° to 130°F) |
| 1/2 |
|
cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted |
| 1/3 |
|
cup sugar |
| 1 |
|
(1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast |
| 2 |
|
eggs |
| 1/2 |

teaspoon salt |
| 3/4 |
|
cup raisins |
| 1 1/4 |

cups firmly packed brown sugar |
| 2/3 |
|
cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted |
| 3 |
|
tablespoons light corn syrup |
| 1 1/2 |
|
teaspoons ground cinnamon |
Combine 2 cups flour, warm milk, 1/2 cup butter, sugar, yeast, eggs and salt in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in raisins and enough remaining flour by hand to make dough easy to handle.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes). Place in greased bowl; turn greased-side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in size (about 1 to 1 1/2 hours). (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
Punch down dough. Stir together all filling ingredients except cinnamon in medium bowl. Spread half of filling on bottom of greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Stir cinnamon into remaining filling.
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface into 18x9-inch rectangle; spread with remaining filling. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, beginning with 18-inch side; seal seams well. Cut into 18 (1-inch) slices using serrated knife; place slices in prepared pan. Cover; let rise until double in size (about 1 hour).
Heat oven to 375°F. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert pan onto serving platter; remove pan.
VARIATION:
Glazed Orange Rolls: Prepare dough as directed above (except omit raisins). Omit filling. To prepare orange filling: stir together 1/3 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon light corn syrup and 1 tablespoon grated orange peel in small bowl. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface into 18x9-inch rectangle; spread with orange filling. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, beginning with 18-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal well. Cut into 1-inch slices; place slices in greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Cover; let rise until double in size (about 1 hour). Heat oven to 375°F. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert pan onto wire cooling rack; remove pan. Invert rolls onto serving platter (top sides up). To prepare glaze: stir together 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice and 1 teaspoon grated orange peel in small bowl. Glaze top of warm rolls.
Recipe Tip
Two (1-pound) loaves frozen bread dough can be substituted for dough recipe. Let frozen dough thaw according to package directions. If preparing Double Caramel-Raisin Rolls, knead 3/4 cup raisins into dough. Prepare filling and continue as directed above.
