  • Total Time: 120 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk or milk substitute (about 105-110°F)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1-2 tsp xanthan gum or 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg (optional, replace with flax egg for vegan)
  • Powdered sugar for glaze
  • Milk for glaze
  • Vanilla extract for glaze

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to activate the yeast and combine it with sugar and yeast. Let it bloom for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the wet and dry ingredients to form a soft, sticky dough.
  3. Let the dough rise for 45-60 minutes until doubled in size.
  4. Roll the dough between parchment sheets into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it.
  5. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mixture on top, then roll tightly into a log.
  6. Slice the log into 9-12 rolls and place in a prepared pan.
  7. Proof rolls for 20-30 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-28 minutes until golden.
  8. Let cool slightly then drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk and butter. Measure flour by weight for best results.
