Sweet Orange Rolls

[@leegd5]

When my friend passed away at almost 100 I found that her family has thrown her recipe book in the trash and retrieved it. As she had been a friend of my own grandmother's I was thrilled to have this book and spent hours going through all the recipes. Included was a recipe cut out from a magazine asking readers to write in and name the orange rolls before May 31st 1939. I think it actually the original "orange roll recipe". I grew up with both my grandmother and mother making these wonderful rolls. I'd be happy to share the "original" recipe from 1939. I love this channel. It makes me feel like I'm back at grandma's house having tea in elegant surroundings.

[@mariacrespo2139]

Sorry for your loss. Thank God you were able to retrieve the cookbook. This is memory of her and to keep her close to your heart. My only regret is not writing a recipe my dad used to make. My favorite fried sweet potato dumplings. I have watched him do this in my youth but I never wrote it down. I remembered a couple ingredients but that’s it. I have this memory in my heart. When learning from someone in the kitchen please jot them down. Down the road you may forget and it will not be the same.

I absolutely love these videos. All of my favorite things all wrapped into luxurious moments of relaxation. A grand historic home, glorious floral arrangements, food and the occasional tour outside. Absolutely fabulous!

[@donnamurphy1871]

Well said

[@lisaray9404]

Me too!❤It all started out on a search for high tea sandwiches, and I found his video. Since then, I've been binge watching him until I finish ALL of his videos! I love listening to him talk, teach and play the piano; I love watching him cook and bake; AND I love following him outside to the garden, on day trips and working around the house. I really love the pup and kitties, especially when they pop up in the videos. I also love his wonderfully calm demeanor and his sweet charm. Mr. Kevin is the BEST!!! ❤❤❤

[@dianne8929]

My mom was a great cook. She always had us kids by her side cooking with her. I was blessed with a talented and generous mother. And will be eternally grateful for everything she taught me. 🌟💙👵💙🌟

[@faridaaminy9734]

I know exactly what you are talking about, I also helped my mom cook, and I'm truly grateful for her, relatives always tell me that I cook just like my mom used to cook, she has gone to heaven almost 7 years ago 😭

[@margaritagarcia5659]

This recipe is easy . And my rolls came out 👍. Greatly appreciated . You are a great inspiration. Thank you

[@suzanneurbanart]

Note to Mr. Fox: Buy Kevin an orange squeezer for his birthday! Kneading info actually very helpful!

[@cindyslevin3075]

Just stick a fork in the orange and squeeze. Comes out easy peasy

[@Cheyenne-u7u]

Made this recipe a while back and the rolls were fantastic! Everyone loved them. So today, I made this recipe with lemons instead of oranges for an experiment because I didn't have any oranges. Can't wait until they come out of the over and I frost them. Yes, I would come over for a game of Bridge. Been a long time since I played.

[@cakebythelake]

I appreciate how you take your time, that makes it easier to follow. Your graciousness adds to the zen of the orange rolls, and everything that you present.

[@Kathy200]

OMG!!! Kevin, I loved this video. You've definitely have come a long way in your video presentations. The rolls look GREAT. Gonna have to try.

[@mcooper7448]

I can not wait to try these. Thank you Kevin for all of the information on kneading. I was really wanting my screen to be a scratch & sniff. I love orange. Be safe!

[@lindamay9218]

I’m sure these Orange rolls are 100 times better than the ones in a can. I can’t wait to make these. If we don’t watch it someone is going to have roll us out after quarantine.

[@donnabrown1679]

Kevin, you are so lucky your Mother allowed you in the kitchen to help her with her recipes, children can learn so much about cooking , thank you for sharing your recipe with us, I know the orange rolls will be delicious.

[@jchambers5668]

Oh, citrus juice tip: Cut the fruit in half per usual. Take a fork, or small sharp knife. Make several stabs, or little slices into the flesh of the fruit, but do not cut through the skin of the fruit. Then, squeeze the juice out. It is much easier. I love all your stories you tell, too.

[@janetbirkmann669]

I'm not a cook ... mostly because I am a very plain eater, so I don't like recipes that are full of ingredients I've never heard of and/or flavors I do not like. I love that the recipes in many of your videos I've watched so far contain such recognizable ingredients and familiar flavors! Thank you! You've inspired me to try some cooking and baking!

[@clemenciarodner2339]

Hi Kevin! I am watching this today, Nov. of 2022. I hear you say: “Who am I kidding - no one is coming tonight!”. Yes. Days of longing, days of boredom, days of ennui, days of despair…. Thankfully, they are mostly over (not that COVID is gone). But the days of quarantine also brought lesson in invective, in self reliance, in learning that solitude can be a sweet companion. And I found new lovely friends in the internet, including you and the elusive Mr Fox. 😊 Keep well my friend.

[@carolware1969]

Hello Kevin, I will definitely make the sweet rolls have a good day. Enjoy watching

[@jchambers5668]

I just love all your videos Kevin. 😊Your voice is very soothing, and I can see you really enjoy what you are filming. The tips and information you share are so helpful! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! Say hi to Mr Fox for me. 😊

[@antoinetteturner4797]

Reminded me of orange cranberry scones . Liked your baking powder biiscuits. I used to make yeast dough rolls

[@cet6237]

Looks Awesome!

[@paolamura3497]

The best part is almost when Kevin tastes his recipe...he absolutely convinces me that the results are unbelievable!

[@heatherkennedy9973]

no wonder after the big "c" and all these great sweets you needed to get a home gym!!! your work outs and dedication to just doing something like walking has made me get out and do more!!! thank you kevin for just being you!!!

[@katiegarrett822]

Definately loved this video. I got to cook at an early age because of a wonderful mother also. I remember standing on a chair to reach the table and stove top

[@dianne8929]

OH YUM !!! You give me the courage to try making yeast dough again. I have never been able to master it in the past. But after watching you in this video I'm going to try again. Thank You! Always look forward to your videos. I'm dying to try your Blueberry pie this summer when the Berries are plentiful. Stay safe.🌟🌟🌟

[@ghostfawnhomestead5188]

Seeing new content by you is the highlight of my quarantine routine (much better than watching the stat counters click up, up, up). We'll be making these for Easter Monday.

[@dayncorbien9054]

We assume some of the practices of our elders & ancients, and tell our stories of them. And, in the momentary recollection together we live on.

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

You can’t beg me. I will make those orange sweet rolls. Looks divine.

[@heatherkennedy9973]

i was but i wasn't --as a health care worker at the time i still was expected to show up an do my job--did end up getting the "c" even with all the protective equipment--out for 14 days -- took months to totally get rid of it--thankfully i am retired now--so i do not have to deal with it all!!--so i will enjoy this dessert and not have to worry about the bs at work!!! thank you kevin!!!

[@Dr.CorneliaKratzer]

Zen-Like (aside from kneading dough :) also applies to watching these videos. Really helps de-stress. I also love to watch the videos on excursions, visits, shopping, etc. It's all interesting and fun to come along for the ride.

[@lynnmurphy3167]

Hi Kevin. I made these today, and they really turned out well. Just delicious like you promised. I only used half of the orange glaze, and found that to be enough. I will probably use the the other half when I make these again with the other half of the dough. I would really like to make cinnamon rolls with this dough. Should I just sprinkle cinnamon and sugar and walnuts before rolling, and then do a confectioners sugar glaze after baking? Your method of using a ruler really helped me when rolling the dough. I have never commented before but I must say I have made many of your recipes over the years, and really enjoy and learn from your gardening posts as well . I appreciate all the loving care you have given to your beautiful house. And I love seeing your animals. You should be very proud of your contribution to making life better for so many. The quarantine gave me the extra time to make the orange rolls today as well as the time to thank you for your website. Thanks for all your wisdom and good cheer. Lynn Murphy, Gloucester, MA

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi Lynn - Thanks so much for your kind comment! To make the cinnamon rolls, first spread the rolled out dough with softened butter. Then mix cinnamon and sugar together, and sprinkle over the butter. Roll up and slice as for the Sweet Orange Rolls. Enjoy!

[@donnamurphy1871]

Would you use butter, sugar and cinnamon for the glaze?

[@a.phillips6892]

Oh my gosh those look SO good! I always make cinnamon rolls, but I will definitely have to make orange ones! I appreciate how thorough you are with explaining the instructions in your cooking videos! Thank you☺️

[@cavindeppe505]

Thanks Kevin! Great video and the look scrumptious! Can’t wait to try them. Have a wonderful day 😊

[@D31taD4wn]

Hello Kevin this Sunday Day 4/2/23. Now this is a Beautiful Orange Roll. I will try these. Thank you for sharing. God Bless You and Your Family.

[@heatherlinton6927]

💡Such a imaginative idea using the orage filled buns, everyone does the same old cinnamon buns.... Boringggg this twist really encourages me to make some. Thank you Kevin 👌🇿🇦😉

[@summercharmes]

Rolled out of bed and immediately started watching you roll out some dough. 👍

[@ghostfawnhomestead5188]

Same!

[@patriciaensey8601]

They look so beautiful and so delicious. I and my neighbor we are watching this and you are a great encouragement and a great teacher and we love you . We love Tiger also . Thank You .

[@CDRRDHCAPE]

Dear Kevin, no wonder you make it look so easy, you are so experienced since you started cooking at a very young age. I love the way you smack that dough down on the marble slab. You go man! I can tell you love cooking, it comes through every time! Thanks for sharing, i so appreciate all your tips. ❤

[@MaryLuminary]

I wish I was there too! Those look delicious. My mom used to make us Carmel, sweet, and yes, sometimes she would switch things up and make orange rolls. She was a morning person, and would have them baking in the oven right about the time the rest of us were waking up on a weekend morning. At Christmas time she would make into a wreath shape that she called English Tea Ring. I have seen where people arrange the unbaked rolls into a tree shape, which after baking resembles a Christmas tree. Fun. Thank you for showing us how to make.🍊

[@listenstowindjh47]

Orange tolls, my favorite! Super looking batch-off to mix my own. Thank you for the recipe Kevin!

[@watthaile2053]

As always, very enjoyable. Thank You.

[@louisehorner]

I discovered your videos about three weeks ago, and look forward to seeing one each day…well, maybe more than one. 😊 I loved this one particularly because of your positive “keep going” attitude, in spite of the challenges that arose during the filming. In general, I love that you and Mr. Fox are living a life that you enjoy, and are willing to share it with others. Thank you for your videos.

[@dianeoneal4183]

These look fabulous! I love anything orange! Thank you for the recipe and all the tips!

[@lorilawrence1033]

Oh Yumminess! I wish I had some oranges, but they are on my list.😋 I cant wait to make these! Thank You for sharing, God Bless 😊

[@peacefulgarden]

Can I just say I love your more relaxed manner when you were filming alone. NOT criticizing the present format, love your work with Lizette! But the Pandemic Kevin was a guy I could definitely have a beer or glass of wine with. The line " you can't screw up these rolls" made me laugh my friend. It was a real "hair down" moment and I absolutely loved it ❤

[@lopeover6296]

Kevin, I have learned so much from watching your videos! How to clean my stove/stove top (I kid you not) I bought Simple Green & Bar Keeper’s Friend. From kneading bread to making pie crust and afternoon tea. So many recipes to try. Your home & garden is so beautiful! Thank you so much!

[@carolware1969]

Wow Kevin they look great !

[@dlminflorida9406]

Appreciate your demonstration and tips on kneading bread dough. I never knew not to add flour, but to scrape it off the surface. Great video.

[@giselleplantbasedvegan9174]

I love orange rolls and have only had the ones from the market. I’m definitely making these, it will be a surprise too for my son. I’ve made the chocolate garbanzo been recipe a couple times, but made it as cupcakes. Everyone loves them. I froze a batch and pull out what I want for later. Thank you for the recipes.

[@sitaramdeen4922]

Hello good day watching From Trinidad enjoy watching you bake

[@judywidick4028]

They look wonderful….oranges are my favorite. I have one every morning. Thank you, Kevin. I look forward to making the orange rolls.

[@Tamia4280]

Hello again, Orange Rolls Yum! I am watching this 2-yrs post original airing but I'm sure the recipe is timeless.

[@LillydeMontagne]

Ooooh these rolls will be my Sunday afternoon cake project! I’ll keep you updated about the outcome! Thank you for sharing this with us! 😁☺️

[@BirgitEger-w8l]

Hi Kevin, I baked the Sweet Orange Rolls the second time They are out of the oven right now with the glaze now on top. It smells sooooo…… good I wish i could send you a picture. Thank you so much for the recipe I will make it over and over again. Best wishes 🌴🐝

[@anthonyreale1786]

Kevin will make these too. Love orange rolls. Best Maria.

[@clararechebei7761]

Thank you I was able to learn to bake my first cinnamon roll because you give clear instructions so I was able to follow.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi Clara - I'm so glad the video was helpful to you!

[@mymys1992]

I cannot wait to make these . I love orange rolls! I plan on making lemon too! Your videos are calming and well explained.

[@annmarie8276]

Absolutely delicious looking rolls. Very useful kneading tips. Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

[@bernadettevanderploeg9551]

I am always get so hungry watching your yummy videos❤

[@scottthomas8894]

I’m a 54 year old feller from Michigan living with my daughter for the heck of it taking care of her house and renting out mine. I’m making her and her two daughters dinner rolls tonight with the chicken dinner she’s cooking for us. Might even make up a loaf of bread. I’m using all purpose flour though. Still is very easy and ummmmmgood. She has some oranges so I might make this tomorrow for us all. I’m gonna get the kids to help me make some easy Peazzzy chocolate fudge tomorrow

[@janetlohmeyer123]

Love these! Thank you and glad my kitchen is not the only one where things mess up! Thank you for the printed recipe....it was fun scribbling down as you said it...and then finding a printed version. Silly me, must by Monday at my house. Oh, wait, it is. Anyway, keep up the yummy work.

[@suzanneseely7167]

Hello Kevin, Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. I have always wanted to try baking with yeast but I have been afraid to try. This clear, step by step video gas encouraged me to try.

[@lori3488]

Hi Kevin, I’m absolutely making these! I think the last time I had orange rolls was 30 years ago and they were out of a can 😂 I just made your delicious Italian bread today so tomorrow I’ll be making these. I so enjoy your videos, you make me smile❤

I Love All Of Your Videos & I Have Other Family Members Also Happy Watching Your Time At Your Home. I Want To Make These Rolls So Bad, Right Now But I Need An Orange 🍊 ! Take Care Kevin, Love You 👍🥳🥰

[@lisaray9404]

Thank you so much for the video and recipe! I am always so grateful to you AND for you, in that you take the time to TEACH us how to properly prepare the ingredients and make the dish. Here, you actually show and teach us how to knead the dough using the correct techniques. I would venture to say that most bakers never do more than just say knead the dough and assume we know what we are doing. Your instruction has given me confidence to be better at baking, and at cooking. Cinnabon has nothing on you. Your sweet orange rolls look amazing and are beautiful! Almost too pretty to eat! But I'm hungry! Let's eat!! Thank you again! Enjoy your rolls and the rest of your day! 🙏💖😋

[@BirgitEger-w8l]

Hello Kevin, I have to smile watching you making orange rolls. You seemed a “ little “ tense during that video. LOL 😝 Did you suffer from cabin fever during your lockdown? So untypical for you 😉 I will make them today 😋
