Step-by-step

1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the orange zest, orange juice, sugar, egg & butter, along with 1 ½ cups of flour. Beat for 30 seconds in a mixer on a low setting then increase the speed to medium for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the remaining 1½ cups of flour to ensure your dough easy to knead.
4. Once the dough is ready, turn onto a floured board and knead for another 5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
5. Cover with cling film and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size; this should take around 1½ hours.
6. Once risen, roll the dough into a rectangle, spread with butter and sprinkle well with combined sugar and cinnamon.
7. Then roll the covered dough into small Catherine wheel shapes (small enough to fit into the scooped out tops of the oranges).
8. Place the slices slightly apart on Bacofoil Non-Stick Foil and bake in an oven 180OC for around 25 – 30 minutes until the rolls are golden brown.
9. With a sharp knife remove the tops of the oranges and place each one in Bacofoil Non-Stick Foil. Place the baked rolls on top of each orange, cover and place on the BBQ until the oranges are soft.
10. Serve with a drizzle of fresh orange juice combined with icing sugar for a tasty snack or after dinner treat!
