Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for filling)
Instructions
Heat the milk until warm (about 110°F) and add the unsalted butter to melt. Allow it to cool to a lukewarm temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the milk and butter mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
Spread the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over the rolled-out dough, leaving a slight border around the edges.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from a long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
Place the rolls, cut side up, into a greased baking pan. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the cinnamon rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free gifflar cinnamon rolls warm or at room temperature.
