Recipe
For the dough:
1 cup (240ml) milk of choice warmed to 110-115° F
1 packet instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
1/2 cup melted butter warmed to 110-115° F
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3 1/3 cups (435g) gluten free flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill GF 1:1 Baking flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 T ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
4 T milk of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 100° F. Turn it off when it reaches temperature. You will let the dough rise in the warm oven later.
2. Add sugar to large bowl.
3. Warm the milk to 110-115°F and add it to the sugar. Stir to combine. Sprinkle yeast over top. (It is important the milk does not exceed 115° F or it will kill the yeast and the dough will not rise).
4. Let the yeast mixture sit for 5 minutes. It will start to look foamy.
5. In the microwave, melt butter. When the temperature of the butter is 110-115° F, add to the yeast mixture.
6. Whisk the room temperature eggs and add eggs and apple cider vinegar to yeast mixture.
7. Mix to combine.
8. Add baking powder, salt and gluten free flour.
9. Mix at medium speed with dough attachment for 5 minutes (speed 6 on Kitchen Aid Mixer). Dough will be soft and tacky. Do not add more flour!
10. Place dough in greased bowl and cover dough with plastic wrap. Cover bowl with damp warm towel and place in warm oven to rise for 1 hour.
11. While dough is rising, prepare the filling. Cream the softened butter with brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
12. After 1 hour, remove the dough from the oven.
13. Preheat the oven to 350°.
14. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper and place dough on top. Lightly dust top of dough with flour.
15. Roll out to 1/2” thick rectangle.
16. Evenly spread filling over dough. Dough will be very sticky!
17. Using the parchment paper to help, roll dough into log shape.
18. Cut 12 equal rolls.
19. Carefully place rolls in greased 9×13” pan.
20. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
21. While rolls are baking, prepare the glaze.
22. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.
23. Let the rolls cool for a few minutes after removing them from the oven, then drizzle glaze over the top.
24. Enjoy!! Reheat leftover rolls in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
