Orange Sunshine Coffee Cake

This dough is really beautiful, soft and buttery. I think that it might the base of many, many more coffee cakes in the future. I made this the day before and covered it with plastic wrap. The next morning I let it do the second rise on the counter. It took longer because it was cold from the fridge, but turned out perfectly.

Dough:

• ½ cup milk
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
• 2 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ cup orange juice
• 1 egg

Filling:

• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon clearjel or flour
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 Tablespoon orange zest
• 3 Tablespoons orange juice

Icing:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 to 2 Tablespoons orange juice

To make the dough, warm the milk in a small saucepan. Add the butter and heat until it melts.

Pour into the bowl of a mixer.

Add yeast, 1 cup flour, sugar and cover and let stand for 10 minutes.

Once you see some bubbles, add orange juice and egg.

Add the remaining flour until a smooth dough forms, you might not need all of it. Knead on medium for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.

To make the filling mix together sugar, clearjel, cinnamon, zest, and orange juice.
