Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Milk (warm, about 110°F)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 5 tablespoons Butter (softened)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for icing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Warm the milk to approximately 110°F to activate the yeast. Ensure it is not too hot.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms. The dough will be softer than traditional bread dough, which is normal for gluten-free recipes.

Step 5

Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

Step 7

Lightly flour a clean surface with gluten-free flour and roll out the dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle.

Step 8

Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough.

Step 9

Starting on the longer side of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough into a log. Use your hands to keep the roll tight as you go.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife or string, cut the log into 12 even slices and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving space between each roll for rising.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once risen, bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 13

While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and pourable.

Step 14

Let the cinnamon rolls cool for about 5 minutes, then drizzle the icing over the top while they are still warm.

Step 15

Serve and enjoy your homemade gluten-free cinnamon rolls!
