In a large mixing bowl stir together 2 cups of the flour and the 
yeast. In a medium saucepan heat and stir together milk, granulated 
sugar, butter, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt just until warm (120F to 
130F) and butter almost melts. Add milk mixture and the two eggs to 
flour mixture. Stir until combined. Stir in as much of the remaining 
flour as you can.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough 
remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and 
elastic (3 to 5 minutes). Shape the dough into a ball. Place in a 
lightly greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in a warm place 1 
hour or until double.

Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. 
Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

On a lightly floured surface roll dough into an 18x12" rectangle. 
Spread the 2/3 cup marmalade over dough, leaving a 4" border along 
one of the long sides. Starting from the filled long side, roll up 
rectangle.* (Don't pinch dough to seal seam.) Slice into 12 equal 
pieces. Arrange pieces, spiral sides up, on prepared baking sheets.

To shape: Gently uncurl the 4" of the roll without marmalade and cut 
in half lengthwise using kitchen scissors. Bend each strip and pinch 
the ends to look like pointed bunny ears. Cut thin lengthwise slits 
inside each ear. Cover rolls and let rise in a warm place about 30 
minutes or until nearly double in size.

Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl lightly beat remaining egg and 
1 tablespoon water. Brush onto rolls. Bake rolls about 15 minutes or 
until light brown. For icing: Stir together powdered sugar, the 1/4 
cup orange marmalade, and 2 tablespoons water to make drizzling 
consistency. Spoon icing over warm rolls. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips: As you roll up the dough, some marmalade may get pushed to the 
border. The two rolls from the ends may not shape as nicely as the others.
