Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Zest of Small Orange
3/4 Cup Sugar
2/3 Cup Toasted Pecans -- [1]
1/4 Cup Warm Water (105 - 115ƒF)
1 Pkg Yeast
1/2 Cup Sour Cream -- [2]
1/2 Cup Butter -- Melted
2 Eggs
1/2 Tsp Salt -- [3]
3 1/3 Cups Flour
2 Tbsp Orange Juice
4 Tbsp Butter
2 Tsp Sugar
Use metal blade to process orange zest with 1/2 c sugar until finely chopped, about 60 sec. Add nuts and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 4 pulses; reserve.
Add warm water to work bowl and stir in yeast. Add sour cream, 6 T butter, eggs, salt and remaining sugar. Process until combined, abut 5 sec. Add flour and process until dough forms a smooth ball, about 30 sec. [4]
Grease two 9" pie pans.
On lightly floured surface, divide dough in half. Roll each half to 12" circle. Brush with remaining butter and sprinkle filling all the way to the edge. Cut each circle into quarters, then cut each quarter into 3 wedges (see photos).
Roll up each wedge, starting at the wide end. Place 11 rolls in a circle in each pan, point side down, with the 12th fitting into the center. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350ƒF. Bake rolls until golden, 20 - 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, make glaze. Combine orange juice, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Brush on hot baked rolls in pan and serve warm.
