Idea--Needs Testing--Orange Rolls

So I made some orange rolls over conference weekend, and after we had them I decided I wanted to figure out a way to merge 2 recipes together.
Both from Taste of Home. Orange-Cheesecake Breakfast Rolls Recipe and Orange-Glazed Bunny Rolls Recipe.


So this is an Idea, never been tested, merging of the 2. Just saving here till I want to make orange rolls again. Try at your own risk. (And leave me a comment on how it turned out!)

Bunny Orange Rolls

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 tsp Yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 3/4 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened (tofutti or similar non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Orange Zest (from 1/2 an orange)
  • GLAZE:
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and about 1 tsp of the sugar. After proofed Add the milk, cream cheese, orange juice, vanilla, rest of sugar, eggs, butter, salt, orange zest and 5 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. 
  • Punch dough down; turn on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 21 pieces. Shape 20 pieces into 12-in. ropes. Fold each in half; twist top half of the open end twice to form ears. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Shape remaining dough into 20 balls. Place one on the loop end of each roll to form a tail; press into dough. cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients; beat until blended. Spread over rolls.
