Instructions
1-Mix the warm water, instant yeast, honey, and olive oil in a bowl until combined.
2-Add the all-purpose flour and kosher salt, then knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic, which takes a few minutes by hand or with a mixer.
3-Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
4-Divide the dough into portions and roll each into rectangles on a floured surface.
5-Spread softened butter over the rectangles, then sprinkle with sugar, orange zest, sliced almonds, and nutmeg that’s been mixed together.
6-Roll the dough into logs, cut into individual rolls, and place them in pans greased with melted butter.
7-Let the rolls rise again for another 45 minutes, then bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15 to 30 minutes until they’re golden brown.
8-Once cooled, drizzle with the glaze made from sifted confectioners sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest, and decorate with sliced almonds.
