Steps

1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk slightly and add the yeast, letting it sit for a few minutes. Mix the flour, sugar, salt, and orange zest In a large bowl. Add the yeast and milk mixture into the flour and begin to knead until the dough starts to come together. Add the softened butter and continue kneading the dough for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2. Proof the Dough: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
3. Shape the Maritozzi: Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and shape each piece into an oval. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space in between each one. Cover again with the kitchen towel and let them rise for another hour.
4. Bake the Maritozzi: Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the Maritozzi for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
5. Prepare the Cream: While the Maritozzi are cooling, whip the cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
6. Fill the Maritozzi: Once the Maritozzi are cool, slice them in the middle but don’t cut all the way through, leaving a ‘hinge’ at the end. Fill each Maritozzo with the whipped cream using a piping bag.
7. Serve: Dust the Maritozzi with powdered sugar before serving.
