Instructions

Whisk 3 cups flour, 2 tsp instant yeast, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 3/4 cup lukewarm milk, 1 egg, 4 tbsp softened butter and 1 tbsp orange zest. Knead about 8–10 minutes until elastic and a little tacky. Cover and let rise approximately 75 minutes until visibly puffy.
Line a 9-inch square pan. Mix 1/3 cup packed brown sugar with 1 tsp ground cardamom. Roll dough to about 12 by 15 inches, spread with 3 tbsp softened butter, then sprinkle evenly with cardamom sugar. Roll from a 12-inch edge into a 12-inch log and pinch the seam.
Cut into nine equal rounds, about 1 1/3 inches each, and arrange cut-side up in the pan. Cover loosely and let rise about 45 minutes until puffy. Heat oven to 350°F near the end of the rise. Bake approximately 25–30 minutes until tops are golden and central dough is baked, tenting if the surface browns early.
Cool about 15 minutes. Whisk 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar with up to 1 1/2 tbsp orange juice for a light drizzle and apply to warm, not hot, rolls. Serve nine rolls; record actual pan fill, rise and glaze viscosity in a kitchen trial.
