Orange Sweet Rolls

I was looking for a way to add a little love and luck into my week. What better way to bring in the warm fuzzies than orange sweet rolls? I made these entirely from scratch, so they were a little time-consuming, but it was totally worth it. 

Ingredients

Dough

3 ½ - 4 cups all-purpose flour

¾ cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 package instant yeast

¾ cups almond milk

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 orange (about 3 tablespoons juice and 1 tablespoon zest)

Cinnamon Filling

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

¼ cup granulated sugar

Rest of zest

Orange Icing

1 ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar

Rest of orange juice

About two teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

Dough

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together. Set aside

Heat almond milk and butter together until butter is completely melted. Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, and eggs. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until it forms a soft dough

The dough should not stick and should bounce back when poked with finger. If not, continue adding flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it’s no longer sticky

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 1 minute. Place in a lightly greased bowl and allow to rest for 10 minutes in fridge.

After 10 minutes, roll the dough out in a rectangle. Mix softened butter, cinnamon, sugar, and orange zest. Spread over the dough as evenly as possible. 

Roll the dough up tightly. Cut into 10-12 rolls and place into greased muffin pan or onto greased baking pan

Loosely cover rolls with plastic wrap or towel and allow to rise for about 90 minutes

Once the rolls have doubled, preheat oven to 375. Bake for 20 minutes, covering with tinfoil halfway through.

Glaze

Whisk sugar, remaining orange juice, and cinnamon together until smooth. Drizzle over rolls (or just double the recipe glaze recipe and drown them like I did)

Aphrodite 

Greek goddess of love, sex, war, beauty, passion, procreation, pleasure, desire, fertility, and the Morning Star

Before the Greeks called her Aphrodite, she was known to them as Astarte, who was their renaming of the goddess Astoreth from Egypt and Canaan (in turn, a renaming of the goddess Ishtar/Inanna). Though not to be confused with the Roman goddess Venus, as she existed independently as a goddess of gardens and vegetation before having some of Aphrodite’s attributes added.

Although she was primarily a goddess of love, sex, and beauty to the Greeks, Aphrodite was still honoured as a goddess of war and was known to bring victory and strength in battle. While she is indeed loving, she is also terrifying and has the ability to sway humans to her will- encouraging chaos wherever she pleases. Due to this, she was the bringer of frenzy and even the Fates would bend to her will. Should you cross her on the battlefield, you would not win. Though she is also a goddess of passion. She is indeed of great and powerful love, though also anger and hatred, thus connecting her with crimes of passion and even death (especially on the battlefield). This all made her one of the most feared deities of Ancient Greece.

In my personal experiences with this goddess, she is extremely powerful, cunning, ambitious, vain, and courageous, while also being empathetic, motherly, and tender all at once. She is not quite a “soft” goddess but can be gentle when she wants to be, otherwise, her presence to me feels like fire. Though when gentle, her energy feels like pure ecstasy and beauty, so much so that it brings tears to one’s eyes. Aphrodite is not shallow in the slightest and is a deeply compassionate and wise goddess who will stand tall and proud alongside her followers; she will never allow any of them to feel weak or ugly. She is also very fond of nature and adores all things that grow.

For myself, Aphrodite appears as a tall slender woman with long, wavy black hair, piercing blue eyes, and wears a deep red dress adorned with gold and diamonds. Her voice is gentle but it radiates power. She is also a withdrawn goddess who may not speak much, but when she talks about something she loves, she lights up. She is welcoming of all people, not just women, and supports those who transition as well.
