Citrus Buns

You know I can't leave a recipe alone! I liked the orange roll recipe but I wanted to ramp up the amount of citrus in it. Here's what I came up with:

1 cup warm water
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp yeast

In blender:
1 peeled orange (zest saved for filling)
1 3/4 cups cooked potatoes
1 1/4 cups potato water
6 eggs

Dump blender mix into mixing bowl and add:
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp salt
12+ cups flour

Mix till dough is no longer sticky. Let rise for one hour in a warm, damp place.

Roll out 1/4 of the dough at a time, top with melted butter and filling mixture.

Filling:
3 cups sweetened coconut
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 Tbsp orange zest
Zest of 1/2 lemon (the rest goes into the glaze)
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Let rise for one more hour. Bake at 350 for 18 minutes. Top with glaze after baking.

Glaze:
2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup butter
1 Tbsp orange zest
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Juice of 1/2 lemon

If you end up with more buns than glaze, make cream cheese frosting:

1 block cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
Zest of one orange
3 cups icing sugar
1/4 cup sour cream

I'm tired just writing it out!
