Dough:

1 1/2 c. warm water

1 T. honey

2 1/4 t. yeast

2 T. olive oil

3 1/2 - 4 1/2 c. bread flour

1 t. sea salt

Topping:

1/4 c. butter, melted

1 c. sugar

zest of one orange

Glaze:

1 c. powdered sugar

1 T. butter melted

juice of one orange

1/2 t. vanilla

Begin by making the dough. Combine water, honey and yeast, let sit 5 min to proof. Combine remaining dough ingredients with yeast mixture. Knead 5 minutes. Let rise until double {about an hour}. Punch down dough and divide into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a snake and then form a knot.

Combine sugar and orange zest in a small bowl. Melt the butter in another bowl. Dip each knot into the melted butter, then dip in the orange sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

While rolls are baking, mix together glaze ingredients. Drizzle glaze over orange knots while still warm.
