How to make Orange Cardamom Rolls?
For the dough:
1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches a temperature of 105°F to 110°F, taking about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add honey, stirring until well combined.
2. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for approximately 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and the mixture becomes foamy. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps remaining.
3. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together flour, sugar, and salt on low speed until well combined, approximately 30 seconds. Add the butter cubes gradually, continuing to beat on low speed until the cubes are broken down into pea-sized pieces, which should take about 2 minutes per addition. Replace the paddle attachment with the dough hook attachment.
4. With the stand mixer running on low speed, gradually pour in the milk mixture, eggs, and vanilla, beating until everything is thoroughly combined, around 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue beating for 10 to 15 minutes until a soft, smooth, and shiny dough forms. If the dough is still too sticky, add additional flour, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat.
5. Place the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a ball. Then, transfer the dough to a bowl that has been coated with cooking spray, and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours, or you can refrigerate it for up to 20 hours. This extended refrigeration time will help develop the flavors and enhance the texture of the dough.
For the filling:
1. In a small saucepan, combine butter, honey, orange zest, cinnamon, and cardamom. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted, for about 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir the mixture until it becomes smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, approximately 15 minutes, before using it in the recipe. The flavors of the orange zest, cinnamon, and cardamom will infuse into the butter and honey, creating a delightful aromatic and flavorful combination.
2. Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish by coating it with cooking spray and setting it aside. Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle measuring approximately 16 x 12 inches, with one long edge of the dough facing towards you. The dough should be rolled to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. This rectangular shape and thickness will serve as the base for creating the delicious orange cardamom rolls.
3. Using a pastry brush, spread half of the filling evenly over the surface of the dough. Starting from the long edge closest to you, carefully roll the dough into a log, using a bench scraper if needed to assist with the process (as the dough might be soft and slightly sticky). With a sharp serrated knife, cut the rolled dough into 12 even pieces, each approximately 1 1/4 inches wide. Transfer each piece of dough to the prepared baking dish. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and allow the buns to rise until they become puffy and nearly double in size, which typically takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F in preparation for baking the orange cardamom rolls.
4. Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish containing the risen buns. Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake until the rolls turn a beautiful golden brown color, which usually takes about 25 minutes. Once the buns are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the remaining filling over the top, ensuring they are nicely coated. Allow the buns to cool down to a warm temperature, which typically takes around 10 minutes. Finally, serve and enjoy these delicious orange cardamom rolls.
