Lehi Orange Rolls w/ Cream Cheese Icing

Thank you Sister's Cafe for the original recipe that I've made my own!

Lehi Orange Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing

1/3 C. warm water
2 Tbsp. yeast
3 eggs
1 tsp. orange extract
1 C. warm water
1 tsp. salt
1/3 C. sugar
1/2 C. oil
5 1/2 to 7 C. flour, divided
1 C. butter, softened, divided
1 1/3 C. sugar, divided
zest of 2 oranges

Dissolve yeast in 1/3 C. very warm water.  Add eggs and beat.  Add orange extract, 1 cup warm water, salt, 1/3 cup sugar, oil, and 4 1/2 cups flour.  Beat.  Add 1/2 to 1 cup and knead for several minutes.  Place dough in greased bowl and cover with greased plastic wrap.  Put in a warm place and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled. 

Knead dough 5 or 6 times.  Divide in half.  Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.  Roll each half out into a narrow and long rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.  Spread with softened butter, remaining sugar, and orange zest.  Roll up lengthwise and pinch to seal edge of dough.  Cut rolls about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place in a greased pan fairly close together and cover with greased plastic wrap.  Let rise for 1 hour in warm place.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 to 17 minutes.  Don't overbake.  Let cool slightly, then ice with orange cream cheese icing.

Orange Cream Cheese Icing

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, at room temperature
4 Tbsp. Butter
1/2 package powdered sugar (about 3 cups)
2 Tbsp. orange juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2-1 tsp. orange extract, to taste

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.  Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy.  Add more orange juice if necessary for desired consistency.  Use over orange rolls.

Note: Food coloring can be added to icing to make it orange in color if so desired.
