These gooey, orange-flavored rolls are a family favorite! I used to always eat them for breakfast until Steve suggested that we eat them as a side dish along with dinner. I thought he was crazy, but we were dating so I went along with his crazy idea (to give him the impression that I’m an agreeable person, of course).
The verdict: He wins. Twenty-one years later we still serve these rolls alongside dinner. The kids agree that having a bread that tastes like dessert at the dinner table is a great idea. Their dentist hasn’t complained yet.
Shaping the loaf might sound complicated, but I promise that even new cooks can handle it! It doesn’t have to be perfect! The recipes calls for 12 slices, but I never count.
After you slice it, you fold each slice down to the slide and kind of press them together to make it look like a fancy loaf.
After you bake the loaf, you brush (or spread, or pour) all the good and gooey stuff on top and then slap everyone’s hands away while you’re carrying it to the table.
Enjoy!
