Procedures:
FOR THE DOUGH: combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in large zipper lock bag. Add butter to bag, seal, and shake to coat. Press air out of bag and reseal. Roll over bag several times with rolling pin, shaking bag after each roll, until butter is pressed into large flakes. Transfer mixture to large bowl and stir in sour cream, orange juice, water, and egg yolk until combined.

Turn dough out onto floured counter and knead briefly to form smooth, cohesive ball. Roll dough into 20 by 12 inch rectangle. Starting at short edge, roll dough into tight cylinder. Pat cylinder flat to 12 by 4 inch rectangle and transfer to parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 15 minutes.

Remove dough from freezer and place on lightly floured counter. Roll dough into 20 by 12 inch rectangle and sprinkle evenly with filling. Leaving ½ inch border around edges. Starting at long edge, roll dough into tight cylinder and pinch lightly to seal seam. Trim ½ inch of dough from each end and discard. Cut cylinder into 12 pieces and transfer, cut side up, to prepared muffin cups. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerated for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
