Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls

Your gluten-free cinnamon rolls might not have risen if your yeast was not proofed properly. When you activate the yeast, make sure it’s bubbly and foamy before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. If it’s not bubbly and foamy, that means the yeast is not activated, and your cinnamon rolls will not rise.

Ingredients :
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4-1/2 cups gluten-free baking or bread flour
  • FILLING:
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted, divided
  • FROSTING:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions :
  1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk; stir in sugar. Let sit 5 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine butter, eggs, baking powder, salt and 2 cups flour. Add yeast mixture; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  3. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion to an 11x8-in. rectangle. Brush each with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut each into 8 slices; place all into a greased 13x9-in. pan, cut side down. Cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
  5. For frosting, beat butter, cream cheese, vanilla and salt until blended; gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar. Spread over warm rolls. Refrigerate leftovers.
