Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 3 teaspoons Instant Dry Active Yeast
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Plant Milk 237ml
  • ½ cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice 118ml
  • 1 Tbs Orange Zest
  • 8 Tbs Softened Vegan Butter 113g
  • ½ cup Sugar 100g
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 5 cups All Purpose Flour 625g

For the Filling

  • 1 Jar Your Favorite Orange Marmalade 10 ounce

For the Icing

Instructions
 

  • In the work bowl of your stand mixer combine the flour, salt, yeast, cardamom & sugar *If using regular dry active yeast you will sprinkle it over the warm liquid from the recipe first to activate & prove
  • Measure the plant milk then add the orange juice & orange zest then add all the liquid to the dry ingredients in the bowl
  • Mix on low to medium speed until the dough starts to come together into a shaggy mass
  • The dough should come together & start to pull away from the sides of the bowl into a neat smooth ball ~You may have to add a tablespoon or two more flour if the conditions in your area are particularly humid
  • Mix for 3 minutes on medium speed then add the softened vegan butter a couple tablespoons at a time until it is all incorporated while mixing on low for 3 more minutes.
  • Turn the dough out into a lightly oiled bowl, cover & rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Once the dough has risen gently pull from one side of the dough & stretch it upwards to strengthen the gluten
  • Do this all the way around the sides of the bowl - about 4 pulls total folding the stretched dough on top of itself.
  • Next turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and let it rest for about 5 minutes
  • Now roll it out to 10" X 15" approximately & spread the orange marmalade over the dough
  • Roll up jelly roll style along the long edge then pinch the seams to close
  • Cut into 8 or 12 portions & place each bun into a lightly greased BUT NO PARCHMENT PAPER 9" x 13" pan
  • Cover & let rest in a warm spot for another 45 minutes or until they are fluffy & puffy & risen to almost double
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F & bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden browned
  • If you are using the Cream Cheese Icing recipe be sure to prepare that according to the recipe on that page while the buns are baking
    Cool the buns to warm before spreading with the icing

Be sure to read all the notes for success above the recipe before beginning 
Storage As will all yeast recipes these Orange Buns are best served the day they are baked but they will last for up to 3 days at room temperature wrapped to prevent drying/staling
