My sweet rolls are a cross between cinnamon buns and kolaches. Package some in decorative cellophane bags for homemade gifts.

Sugar Plum Sweet Rolls Recipe

Prep: 1 hour + rising Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 30 Servings

60 20 80

Ingredients

2 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 cups warm whole milk (110° to 115°)
1 cup butter, melted
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
1-1/3 cups pitted dried plums
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
ICING:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
4 teaspoons orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the warm milk, butter, egg yolks, sugar, salt and 5 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
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. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; spread over each rectangle to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Cut into 1-in. slices.
Place rolls, cut side down, in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans for 5 minutes before inverting onto serving plates.
Combine the confectioner's sugar, pecans, orange juice and peel until blended. Spoon over warm rolls. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
