HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine sugar and yeast for dough in a small bowl. Mix 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt together in a second bowl.
• Place milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 15 seconds, until 110 to 115 degrees F (43 to 46 degrees C), about 45 seconds. Whisk into the yeast mixture and set aside to proof, about 5 minutes.
• Combine proofed yeast with olive oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix for a moment and then slowly add in the flour mixture. Mix with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until dough thickens and loses some of its stickiness, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Cover a work surface with a sheet of good quality plastic wrap and a light layer of flour. Place dough in the center and cover with a little more flour and another sheet of plastic wrap. Roll out to a 10x13-inch rectangle; remove top layer of plastic wrap.
• Combine brown sugar and cinnamon for filling in a small bowl. Spread melted butter over the entire dough rectangle and sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly over top.
• Start at a long edge and roll the dough, using the plastic wrap to help lift and roll as you go. Lightly sprinkle dough with more flour and cut into 10 pieces with a sharp knife. Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot to rise for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 22 to 27 minutes.
• While rolls are baking, beat butter and cream cheese for frosting in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar; mix until smooth. Mix in lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
• Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle frosting over top.

CINNABON-ISH CINNAMON ROLLS (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast in large mixing bowl with warmed milk. Let bubble for a few minutes.
• Add sugar, butter, oil, and vanilla to milk/yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
• Add egg and combine thoroughly.
• Sift together salt, potato starch, cornstarch, millet flour, baking soda, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
• Slowly add flour mixture to mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. If the dough appears too sticky/wet, add more flour as necessary.
• Remove dough from mixing bowl and place in a greased container and put in a warm place to rise for 45-60 minutes. The dough will be extremely sticky, do not worry, this is normal.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Roll dough to 1/4" thick 13 x 13 square between 2 pieces of well floured parchment paper.
• Remove top sheet of paper from rolled dough and spread softened butter on top of dough.
• Combine brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough surface. Leave a 2" strip of dough uncovered at one end of square. Some reviewers have commented that there is too much filling, if so, don't use it all ;).
• Using bottom sheet of parchment paper has an aid, roll the dough into a log. Start at the end opposite of that which you left uncovered.
• Carefully cut into 8 equal pieces using a serrated knife. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving about half an inch between rolls to allow for expansion. Put any remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture in the bottom of the dish.
• At this point you can either bake them or allow them to rise a bit longer.
• Bake in oven for ~18-22 minutes until tops are golden brown and delicious. Check for doneness by running a knife between rolls in the center of the dish. Dough should not easily stick to the knife.
• While the rolls are baking, whip together frosting ingredients until soft and creamy. Try not to eat it all before the rolls are done!

GLUTEN FREE CINNABON COPYCAT CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a pie plate. DOUGH: Combine yeast and sugar in large mixing bowl. Microwave milk and 1 tablespoon butter to approximately 110-115 degrees. Whisk into yeast mixture and set aside to proof. Meanwhile in small bowl whisk together potato starch, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, almond flour, baking soda, xanthan gum, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Once yeast is proofed add in egg, oil, and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Mix for a moment and then slowly add in the flour mixture. Turn the mixer up to medium-high and beat for 1½ minutes - beating long enough is essential, GF flours are "thirsty," the dough will thicken & lose it's stickiness as you beat it. Roll out the dough: this is a sticky dough that you'll want to roll out to approximately a 13 x 10 rectangle. What I have found works best is covering my work surface with plastic wrap and then a light layer of tapioca starch. I place my dough in the center and cover with a bit more tapioca starch and another sheet (or two) of plastic wrap. Roll out to the needed size and then carefully peel off the top layer of plastic wrap. Using a knife or spatula gently spread the ⅓ cup softened butter over the dough evenly leaving ½" space around the edges. FILLING: In a small bowl combine brown sugar & cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over dough. To roll your dough: start on one of the shorter sides and gently begin rolling your dough into a log form. Use the plastic wrap to help you "lift and roll" the dough as you go along. Try to make it a nice tight roll, however do not try to unroll it and re-do it. You'll end up with a sticky mess. Sprinkle lightly with tapioca starch again. Dip a sharp knife into tapioca starch then cut the rolls into 8 pieces. (This is an important update, in the past I did 6 rolls and it sometimes made it hard to bake them all the way through before the tops were done.) Place the rolls, cut side down, in the prepared B
