For the Rolls:
- 41⁄2-5 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:
- Combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl of a stand mixer and stir until well blended.
- Place water and butter in microwave-safe bowl, microwave on high in 15 second increments until very warm but
not hot to the touch (120-130 degrees F). The butter won’t completely melt. - Add water and butter to the flour mixture along with the egg.
- Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed of an electric mixer, scraping bowl if necessary.
- Add 1 cup of flour and beat for 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl if necessary.
- Stir just enough of the remaining flour in so that the dough forms into a ball.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic and the dough springs back when lightly pressed with
two fingers. May take up to 8 minutes. - Cover dough with a towel and let rise for 10 minutes.
- For Filling, warm marmalade in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-20 seconds so that it is running and easy to
spread over dough. - Roll dough into a 10×15 inch rectangle using a rolling pin.
- Spread melted butter all over dough, leaving a 1⁄2 inch border along the edges of the rectangle.
- Spread marmalade over top of the butter.
- Beginning at the long edge of the rectangle, roll up tightly.
- Pinch seams to seal.
- Cut into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss.
- Place cut side down into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
- Cover with a fowl and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about 30 minutes – 1 hour.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Let cool for a
couple of minutes and then pour frosting over top and spread over rolls. - For Frosting, combine all frosting ingredients in a medium sized bowl and whisk together until creamy. Start with
- 2 tablespoons of milk and add more depending on consistency of frosting desired!
