Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (420g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm milk
  • 1 large (50g) egg
  • 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) ground cinnamon
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream

Instructions:

  1. Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Stir in melted butter and egg until uniform.
  2. Fold in gluten-free flour and salt. Mix until a soft, tacky dough forms. Cover with a warm cloth and let rise in a draft-free spot for 60 minutes.
  3. Turn dough onto a surface dusted with gluten-free flour. Roll into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  4. Spread softened butter across the dough, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 9 equal pieces using dental floss or a serrated knife.
  6. Place rolls in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until edges are mahogany-colored.
  7. Whip together cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Apply to rolls while still warm.
