Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, instant yeast, salt, and granulated sugar.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Mix Everything Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: On a clean, floured surface, knead the dough gently for a few minutes until smooth.
5. Let it Rise: Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together for the filling.
7. Roll Out the Dough: After rising, turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle approximately ¼-inch thick.
8. Spread with Butter: Evenly spread the softened butter for the filling over the rolled-out dough.
9. Sprinkle Filling: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
10. Roll It Up: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, creating a log shape.
11. Cut into Rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
12. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
13. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
14. Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
15. Cool Slightly: Once baked, let the rolls cool in the dish for 10-15 minutes.
16. Make the Glaze: In a bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
17. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
