ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use the brioche dough. Now why didn't i think of that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for baking with me this week.
We used to have the Pillsbury orange rolls (from the can) as a treat when we were kids so I think your variation sounds so good! I posted raisin snails and sticky buns that I had made previously.
ReplyDeleteOrange Cream sound like a bite of heaven. I've got to make these. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
ReplyDeleteWait! How did you fill the buns? I love love love anything orange!
ReplyDeleteThese look so decadent and delicious.
ReplyDeleteIf you've been baking a lot with orange, I'm going to check your older posts. Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour brioche with the orange cream filling (yum) looks like one in a fancy French bakery. Very nice!
