Orange Buns

IMG_3845

These orange buns are my favourite sweet dough bun. The aroma of orange they exude is very pleasurable. They are delicious warm with butter or raspberry jam, but are also nice cold with a slice of mild gouda, or as the base for a ham sandwich. The recipe below is tailored to a bread machine, but you can make it the original way by using quick yeast, mixing and kneading the dough, and letting it rise an hour before forming the buns.

  1. Those are beautiful and I can imagine the flavor from here. I will send this to my sister who has an orange tree. Not that it uses that much orange juice but I think she will appreciate it. ~Ginene
