Lisa's Orange Rolls

This recipe comes from my sister's mother in law, Lisa.  These rolls are simply amazing!  They  are soft and fluffy, and packed with so much flavor.  Make sure you eat them hot with a nice glass of milk.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For the rolls:
-2 cups milk
-1 tsp salt
-6 eggs, well beaten
-1 cup sugar
-6 Tbs butter
-2 (0.6 oz each) yeast cakes OR 4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
-8 cups flour
For the filling:
-1 cup or 2 sticks butter, softened
-1 cup sugar
-zest from 2 oranges
Directions:
Scald the milk.  Add butter and cool.  When lukewarm, add yeast and salt. 
Add the sugar to the well beaten eggs.  Pour into yeast mix.  Add 2 cups of flour and mix well.  Let rise for 1 hour.
Add the remaining 6 cups of flour and mix well with a spoon.  Do NOT knead!  Cover and let rise 1 hour.
While that's rising, make the filling by combining the butter, sugar and zest.
Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll oblong 1/2 inch thick.  Spread with filling, roll up and cut into 1 inch sections.  Place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.  Let rise 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 F.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Enjoy!
