Orange Bubble Mini Loaves

Lightly grease 4 mini loaf pans*. On a lightly floured surface, using lightly floured hands, shape each piece of dough into a ball. Set aside. In a medium size bowl, mix together sugar and orange zest. Dip each dough ball into melted butter and roll in the sugar/orange mixture. Place 4 coated dough balls in each loaf pan. Let rise until double in size. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped gently on top. Remove from oven and invert pan upside down on cooling rack (place a sheet of foil under the cooling rack to catch all of the drips of syrup). Remove pan (loaf should be upside down). Let cool. If desired, drizzle with orange glaze (2 cups powdered sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons orange juice).

*Dimensions of mini loaf pan 5¾ x 3”
