Put in blender:2 ½ c warm water
1 stick butter or margarine
½ c sugar
2 tsp salt
2 eggs
Turn on blender for 60-90 seconds. Add 4 ½ tsp. yeast and blend again. Pour over 7 cups of flour (add more flour if still really sticky). Mix, cover and let rise 3-4 hours. Divide in half and roll out into 2 rectangles. Each rectangle requires a recipe of orange filling, so double orange filling if you are making both batches at once.
Orange filling: 1 stick butter, 1 c sugar and zest of 1 large orange- stir together on stove until butter and sugar melted.
Spread orange filling evently over rectangle of dough. Roll the dough and once a tube is formed, cut into 1" pieces. Put in greased 9x13" pan. Cover and let raise 1 hour.
Cook at 375 for about 15-18 minutes until lightly brown on top. Enjoy!
Optional: make a glaze from juice of orange you zested and powdered sugar to desired consistency and drizzle on top :)
