MAKES 10

DOUGH

¼ cup warm water (105° to 110°)
1 (0.25-ounce) package active dry yeast
3½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
¾ cup whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

FILLING

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
⅔ cup orange or satsuma marmalade

GLAZE

¼ cup whole milk
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2¼ cups confectioners’ sugar
1½ teaspoons finely grated orange zest

1. For dough: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup warm water and yeast. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
