Notes

1/2/2021: I made the full recipe of Basic Sweet Dough, and used half to make a half-batch of these rolls. I used agave nectar in place of the corn syrup, and I used salted butter for the pan and to brush onto the dough. I rolled out the dough to a 9x12-inch rectangle, spread with melted butter and sprinkled half with nutmeg (just to try it) and with some extra orange zest. Rolled up the dough and cut into 9 pieces. Baked in 8x8-inch pan for 21-22 minutes at 375°F, on rack 3.
