- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cloves
- Zest of 1 Orange
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Orange Juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, a teaspoon of the granulated sugar, and the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the remaining granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk gently to combine.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Lightly grease a large bowl, place the dough in it, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the light brown sugar, ground cloves, and orange zest in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and mix until it forms a thick paste.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle, approximately 18×12 inches.
- Spread the orange clove filling over the dough, leaving a small border along one edge. Roll the dough into a tight log and pinch the seam to seal.
- Cut the log into 12 even slices and arrange them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately.

Keywords: Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor. If you need an egg substitute, a flax egg can work, though it may alter the texture slightly.
