  • 3 – 3 ½ cup All Purpose Flour

Instructions

For the Sweet Rolls:

  1. Combine the warm water and active dry yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Set aside for 10 minutes, until foamy. 
  2. Add the Sumo Citrus zest, juice, sugar, salt, egg, and softened butter. Whisk for 1 minute to combine. 
  3. Add 3 cups of flour to the bowl. Using the knead attachment, mix until a soft and pliable dough, about 5-6 minutes. Add the extra ½ cup of flour if the dough is still sticky. 
  4. Cover and set aside in a warm environment for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size. 
  5. Butter the edges of a 9x13” baking dish. Line the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper. 
  6. Roll out the risen dough to a 10x15” rectangle. 
  7. Evenly slather the softened butter over the dough. 
  8. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle over the buttered dough. 
  9. Roll up tightly, then use a serrate knife to slice into 12 rolls. Place in the prepared baking dish. Cover and set aside in a warm environment for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until doubled in size. 
  10. Preheat oven to 375F. 
  11. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until lightly golden on top. Cool at least 10 minutes before adding the glaze. 

 

For the Sumo Citrus Glaze:
