Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Combine eggs, sugar, salt and 1 tb grated rind and add to yeast mixture.
Scald milk and cool to 115-120 degrees. Add cooled milk, 1/2 cup lukewarm orange juice, and 2 tb melted butter to yeast mixture. Slowly add 4-1/2 cups flour until a soft dough forms. If dough is still sticky, knead in a small amount of additional flour. Place dough in a large buttered bowl. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled - about 1-1/4 hours.
When doubled, punch down and turn out onto lightly floured board. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick and brush with melted butter. Roll up jelly-roll fashion and slice 1/2 inch thick. Place slices in greased muffin tin or side by side on baking pan. Cover and let rise again until doubled - about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Ice with mixture of the powdered sugar, 1 tb grated rind and 4 tb orange juice.
