Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, spices, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and orange zest. Gradually pour into dry ingredients, stirring until dough forms.
- Knead Dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer on low speed.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 to 2 hours until doubled.
- Shape Buns: Punch down the dough, fold in soaked dried fruit, divide, and shape into buns. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Second Rise: Cover buns loosely and let rise in a warm spot for 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake buns for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
- Glaze: Prepare orange glaze by mixing powdered sugar with fresh orange juice. Brush over warm buns after baking.

Notes
Allow dough to rise fully and glaze immediately after baking for best results. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
