In reply to Rita ZIMMERMAN. Hi Rita! Thank you so much for following along! I truly appreciate it! I haven't made these quite the same way as making the Amish Cinnamon rolls so unfortunately I don't have great advice on exactly how to do it. These are still a very soft roll. :)

Hi Sam,

I thank you so much for all you do and I have loved watching your videos and make your recipe’s all of the tine. When I get compliments I can easily send off your YouTube of the recipe :). So, I wanted to make one of your Cinnamon Roll recipes, but I baked up the mashed potato just to find out that the Orange Cinnamon roll doesn’t call for it. I want the recipe to turn out like how you have described the Amish Potato Cinnamon roll recipe. I have not made it but wondered how I could transfer the mashed potato idea to the Orange Cinnamon roll one? Could you help with that? or answer about how it will still turn out soft and wonderful like how you described the Amish one? Thank you!!!! God Bless you, Rita

In reply to Julia Cebreros. Hi Julia! I think lemon zest will work in the dough. For the glaze, lemon juice is way more sour so you may have to play with the sugar, maybe use less juice. I think the glaze can turn out you just may need to play with it a little bit. :)

hello. on step 2, adding water and milk to a bowl, the sugar, do you add yeast before or after the sugar, you don’t mention that, just listen it below step.

In reply to Sandra Henslee. Hi Sandra! It's really recipe dependent. I choose prefer the results with the active dry yeast in this recipe. :)

Could you please tell me more about why you prefer active dry yeast instead of instant yeast? I haven’t known there was much of a difference and I would really like to hear your thoughts!

I am intimidated by yeast recipes, but this was an easy one to follow. My rolls turned our absolutely delicious and my family and neighbors devoured all of them in 24 hours. Some little changes I made included using the small cutie oranges for zest and juice. They have very little pith. I also put a 1/2 c-2/3 cup zest in the dough and a 1/3 cup in the glaze. I added 2 splashes of Gran Marnier and a splash of vanilla to the glaze to enhance the flavor. It was a rich intense orange flavor. I learned that I rolled the dough too tight and my middles rose like cinnamon chimneys , so no awards for presentation. I also used a good dose of Cardamom with my cinnamon-brown sugar – butter filling. I am making more this weekend!! Thank you for this recipe.

These rolls turned out perfectly! I made them the night before. Instead of doing the second proof, I put them in the fridge overnight.

In reply to Casey Threatte. Oh no , you're completely right. I'm so sorry I missed that and I really appreciate you bringing this to my attention, I just fixed it. I've slept about 4 collective hours in the past two days (teething baby) and am going to chalk missing it up to that, but I am very sorry, I always triple check my recipes and can't believe I missed this!

Love your recipes, just sayin’. However, I just made this for the first time and while you put ‘orange zest’ under the dough ingredients you don’t remind us to add it when we are mixing in the eggs, sugar, flour gradually. At least I didn’t ‘see’ it and therefore forgot to put the darn stuff in ;o(.

I have a grandchild who is allergic to cinnamon and citrus. Do you have a recipe for sweet rolls without those 2 ingredients?

Hi, I’d like to prepare my rolls the night before & bake them in the morning. Have you tried this with this recipe?
