Ingredients

• 350 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 7 grams Instant Yeast
• 50 grams Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 milliliters Whole Milk
• 50 grams Unsalted Butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 grams Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
• 50 grams Butter, softened
• 100 grams Confectioners' Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Warm the milk slightly in a small saucepan or microwave until it's just warm to the touch, not hot.

Step 3

Add the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until smooth but still slightly sticky.

Step 5

Place the dough back into the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches.

Step 8

Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough from the longer side to form a log. Slice into 12 even pieces.

Step 10

Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 12

Bake the cinnamon rolls for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by whisking together confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 14

Once baked, let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly before drizzling the icing over the top. Serve warm.
