Overnight Orange Roll Casserole
This Overnight Orange Roll Casserole turns a standard breakfast shortcut into an elegant, citrus-infused bread pudding. By soaking the orange roll quarters in a rich egg custard overnight, you create a soft, pillowy texture that contrasts beautifully with the golden-brown tops. The addition of fresh orange zest and juice elevates the canned dough, making it taste like it was made from scratch in a boutique bakery.

How To Make Overnight Orange Roll Casserole:

Step 3: The Overnight Chill; Cover the dish tightly with foil and place it in the refrigerator. Letting it sit overnight allows the rolls to absorb the custard, but you can also bake it immediately if you’re in a hurry.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Remove the foil and bake for 30/35 minutes. The rolls should be puffed and golden on top while remaining soft and custard-like in the center. Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes.
Step 5: Glaze and Serve: While the casserole cools, whisk together the icing ingredients. Start with 3 tablespoons of orange juice and add more only if you want a thinner consistency. Pour the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
