The orange and pecan flavors are perfectly balanced in this recipe. Next time I'll make it with another dough from scratch. I think it was tricky squeezing 12 rolls into each 9-inch pan. They were too small for our liking. I'd probably cut the slices into 1-inch pieces, and fit 6 per pan. That way they would have room to rise nicely.

I made these with out the orange peel and they were wonderful! My husband and brother-in-law ate most of them before I could make the icing. I also did not get as many as the recipe claims. In the future I will always double this.

I made these cinnamon rolls but I used my own sweet dough mixture in lieu of frozen dough. It is important to let the dough rest for at least tne minutes before rolling ... makes it easier to roll. The end results for me was they were absolutely delicious and soon disappeared.

My husband helped me make these rolls and he used a lightly floured board to roll the dough. You have to press really hard on the dough and keep rolling it outward. Good luck!
