O.M.G. orange bowknots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever had ’em? They are delicious. Surprisingly delicious. They taste like a delicious sweet roll, with a\u00a0hint\u00a0<\/em>of orange, topped with an amazing slightly orange-y glaze. Okay, that’s a terrible description which isn’t going to sell these awesome pastries. I swear though, with their sweet taste and dense yet fluffy texture- they sell themselves<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I know they don’t look\u00a0<\/em>like the prettiest pastry – but that’s all on me. I’ve got a lot to learn when it comes to making my treats look fancy. :) They\u00a0taste\u00a0<\/em>delicious though, I promise!<\/p>\n

I followed the recipe straight out of my BHG cookbook (with the plaid cover) – I absolutely adore that cookbook. It rarely leads me astray. Here’s the link to the recipe<\/a> for orange bowknots.<\/p>\n

And since that link doesn’t show any pictures for the process of making these, I’ll share mine:)<\/p>\n

\"Orange<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Stir 2 cups of flour & a package of yeast together in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan, heat & stir 1 1\/4 cup milk, 1\/2 cup butter, 1\/3 cup sugar, and 1\/2 teaspoon salt until just warm and butter is almost melted. (Preheat the oven to 400 degrees at this point.)<\/p>\n

2. Finely shred 2 tablespoons of orange peel (I believe we ended up using 2 oranges for the peel & the fresh orange juice).<\/p>\n

3. Squeeze 1\/4 cup of orange juice from the oranges you used for the orange peel.<\/p>\n

4. Add milk mixture to flour mixture & add 2 eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Stir in orange peel, orange juice, and as much of the remaining 3 cups of flour as you can. (You don’t have to use it all.)<\/p>\n

5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface & knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth & elastic. (3-5 minutes) Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl & turn once. Cover & let rise in a warm place until doubled. (About 1 hour) We have the oven preheated at this time & place the bowl on the warm stove.<\/p>\n

6. Punch down dough. Turn onto a slightly floured surface & divide in half. Cover & let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each dough portion into a 12×7 inch rectangle. (My lovely niece had so much fun helping with this part:) ) Cut each rectangle into twelve 7 inch long strips. (A pizza cutter worked really well for this!) Tie each strip loosely into a knot.<\/p>\n

7. Grease 2 baking sheets & arrange knots 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Cover & let rise in warm place until nearly doubled in size, about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

8. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden. Remove from baking sheets & let cool on wire racks.<\/p>\n

9. Drizzle with orange glaze. \u00a0(The glaze is simply 1 cup powdered sugar stirred together with 1 teaspoon of orange peel, mixed with enough orange juice to make a drizzling consistency. I decided that next time I am doubling the glaze!!)<\/p>\n

I absolutely cannot wait to make these again!<\/p>\n

Have you ever tried them?<\/p>\n
