Directions
Oil large bowl and set aside. Pour warm water into another large bowl. Sprinkle with yeast and stir to dissolve. Blend in milk, shortening, sugar and salt. Add 3 cups flour and beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a workable dough.
Turn dough onto a lighlty floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.Transfer dough into oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a damp towel and let stand in a warm draft free place until doubled, about an hour.
Grease two large baking sheets. Punch down dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface and roll out into a 12x18 rectangle. Spread with butter.
Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, nuts, raisins, and cinnamon. Starting with a long side, roll up jelly-roll style. Cut into slices slightly over 1 inch thick. Arrange on prepared baking sheets, tucking ends of dough under.
Let stand in a warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). and bake rolls until golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. Prepare icing while rolls are baking.
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and beat until smooth, using only enough orange juice to thin for spreading or drizzling. Spread or drizzle while rolls are still hot.
