No Knead Citrus Rolls 

    1/4 cup warm water 
    2 pkg. yeast 
    7 tablespoons sugar, divided 
    1 cup warm whipping cream 110-115 degrees 
    3 egg yolks, beaten 
    3 1/2 - 4 cups all purpose flour 
    1 tsp. salt 
    3/4 cup cold butter or margarine, divided 
    (I would suggest using butter) 

    Filling 
    1/2 cup sugar 
    2 tablespoons grated lemon peel 
    2 tablespoons grated orange peel 

    Glaze 
    1 1/3 cups confectioners sugar 
    2 tablespoons milk 
    1 tablespoon lemon juice 
    1 tablespoon orange juice 


    In a bowl combine water, yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar, let stand 5 minutes. 
    Stir in cream and egg yolks, mix well. In another bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups flour,
     salt, and remaining sugar, cut in 1/2 cup butter until crumbly. Add yeast
     mixture, stir just until moistened Add enough remaining flour to form a soft
     dough. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. 
    Refrigerate 6-8 hours or overnight. Punch dough down. Turn onto lightly floured
     surface. Divide in half, roll each half into a 15 x 12 rectangle. Melt remaining
     butter, brush over dough. Combine filling ingredients, sprinkle over dough. 
    Roll up, jelly roll style, beginning with a long side, pinch seam to seal. 
    Cut each roll into 15 slices, place cut side down in 2 greased 9 inch pie plates.
     Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 min. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes
     or until golden brown. Combine glaze ingredients, drizzle over warm rolls. 
    Cool in pans on wire racks. Yield 2 1/2 doz. 
     These really are good sort of like a Danish pastry without all the work!
