This recipe requires a blend of gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, and xanthan gum for the dough. The filling uses brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, while the cream cheese glaze needs cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
Learn how to cook Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls Recipe by combining specialty flours with yeast, rolling the dough between parchment paper sheets, spreading with cinnamon-sugar filling, slicing into rolls, and baking until golden brown at 180°C for about 25 minutes. The key to success is proper mixing and handling the more delicate gluten-free dough.
Gluten-free dough lacks the elastic protein structure of regular dough, so it typically rises only about 50% rather than doubling. This is normal! Focus on achieving a puffy texture rather than significant volume, and ensure your yeast is fresh and your environment is warm enough.
Yes! Substitute the milk with almond, oat or coconut milk, use plant-based butter alternatives, and replace cream cheese with dairy-free versions. The texture might be slightly different, but you'll still achieve delicious dairy-free and gluten-free cinnamon rolls.
Store rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for 5 days. Reheat individual rolls in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or wrap in foil and warm in a 150°C oven for 5-7 minutes to restore their soft, fresh-baked texture.
