These bright and fresh homemade orange sweet rolls start with a soft and buttery homemade dough, and are rolled up with a zesty citrus-cinnamon-sugar filling. A generous drizzle of orange icing over the warm rolls seals the deal: citrus lovers may never go back to regular cinnamon rolls! You can make the rolls within a few hours or get started the night before using the overnight preparation option.
