Homemade Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls RECIPE

INGREDIENTS  

FOR THE PASTRY

3 Cups Gluten Free All Purpose Flour

2 ¼ tsp Instant Yeast

1/2 tsp Salt

1/4 Cup Butter

3/4 Cup Milk (warmed)

1 Large Egg

1/4 Cup White Sugar

Vanilla Extract

FOR THE CINNAMON FILLING

2/3 Cup Brown Sugar

1/4 Cup Butter

1 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon (ground)

FOR THE GLAZE

3/4 Cup Confectioners Sugar

3 Tbsp Milk

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Place the gluten free all purpose flour into the standing mixer bowl, add the instant yeast, salt and butter (you can cube the butter if you prefer, before adding to the bowl)

2. Mix all the ingredients together until the butter has broken down and the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

3. Pour the warmed milk into a clean medium mixing bowl and add the egg, sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined

4. Next, pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, mix on medium speed using the dough mixer, for 6-8 minutes or until it resembles a dough.

5. Whilst the dough is mixing we’ll prepare the cinnamon filling. Place the brown sugar, butter and ground cinnamon into a small mixing bowl. Mix together with a spoon.

6. Now, back to the dough, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and roll it out to form a large rectangle.

7. Take the cinnamon filling and spread it over the surface of the rolled out dough. Tightly roll up the dough, starting along the longest edge (so you will have a longer roll). Cut into 12 slices, (approximately 1 inch slices).

9. Place all the slices in a lightly greased tin, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 hour. While the rolls are rising preheat the oven to 350F/180C.

10. Remove the plastic wrap and place in the preheated oven, bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned but still soft in the center.

11. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Whisk together, the confectioners’ sugar and milk in a small bowl for the frosting. Drizzle over the cinnamon rolls and enjoy while still slightly warm and gooey!
