2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)

1 1/2 cups warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)

6 tablespoons butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, beaten

6 to 6 1/2 cups all−purpose flour

Filling

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon all−purpose flour

1/2 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons grated orange peel

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

Glaze

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 tablespoon orange juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, butter, sugar, salt, eggs and 1 1/3 cups flour and beat until smooth.

Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface, kneading until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased

bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan. Add remaining filling ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring

constantly. Reduce heat and simmer 3 to 4 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and cool.

Punch dough down and divide in half. Roll each half into a 15 x 12−inch rectangle and spread with

filling. Roll up, jellyroll style, starting with long side. Slice into 1−inch rolls. Place with cut side down

in two greased 13 x 9 x 2−inch baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake for 20

to 25 minutes and Cool.

Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over rolls.
