Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 35 min.

Yield: 15 Servings

30 35 65

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 cups warm fat-free milk (110° to 115°), divided
1 cup sugar, divided
2 eggs
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup orange juice
1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
15 maraschino cherries
GLAZE:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fat-free milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm milk. Stir in 1 tablespoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the eggs, butter, salt, and remaining milk and sugar. Beat in 4 cups flour until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
For filling, melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth. Add the orange juice, pineapple, sugar, orange peel and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; cool.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 24-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spread filling over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 15 slices. Place cut side down in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan and a 9-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Top each roll with a cherry.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over rolls. Yield: 15 rolls.
