Ingredients
  

  • 4 C Emma's DF/GF flour blend if you use a different blend, you will have different results
  • 1/2 C sorghum flour
  • 1/8 C buckwheat flour
  • 12 g psyllium husk powder
  • 1/3 C granulated sugar
  • 1 TBSP SAF instant yeast
  • 1 TBSP powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • t tsp sea salt
  • 1 2/3 C whole milk, warmed microwave for 45-50 seconds
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 C butter, softened
  • 1 tsp refined cocount oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
Filling
  • 2 TBSP butter, melted
  • cinnamon/sugar mixture to use for filling If you don't have any, I use the ratio of 1/2 C granulated sugar to 2 tsp cinnamon
Cream Layer
  • 4-5 TBSP heavy whipping cream
Icing
  • 2 C powdered sugar
  • 3-4 TBSP whole milk
  • splash of vanilla(optional)

Equipment

  • 1 coated ceramic baking dish I used a 9x9 dish
  • Bosch mixer(or Kitchenaid)
  • scale
  • measuring spoons/cups
  • basting brush
  • rolling pin
  • pizza slicer
  • parchment paper, plastic wrap

Method
 

  1. Preheat proofing oven to 175 degrees. When it comes to temperature, turn off the oven.
  2. In a Bosch machine, add all the dry ingredients. Pulse to blend with the lid on. Then add the warmed milk, egg, softened butter, and softened refined coconut oil. Mix well on speed one. Scrape down the sides.
  3. Then mix on speed 2 for 2 minutes.
  4. Scrape out down onto a very lightly floured surface( I use my df/gf blend). Gently knead dough just enough to lightly coat it so that you can roll it out.
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll out dough into a 9x15( I never actually measure) rectangle.
  6. Baste the melted butter onto the dough.
  7. Generously sprinkle your cinnamon/sugar mixture over the butter.
  8. Using a pizza slicer, slice dough into 1 inch strips starting at the top of the long side and rolling it down to the bottom of the long side.(Imaging a flag laying flat and you're slicing from the top of the flag to the bottom--NOT side to side)
  9. Gently roll up each strip and place it into a coated ceramic baking dish. Once all strips are place in the dish, gently baste the tops with heavy whipping cream. Make sure to coat the tops well.
  10. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and place in proofing oven for 15-18 minutes or until doubled.
  11. Meanwhile, if you have a second oven, heat it to 375 degrees. If you do not have a second oven, let the rolls raise for 10-12 minutes in the proofing oven, then take them out to finish proofing on top of the oven while it heats to 375)
  12. Remove the plastic wrap.
  13. Bake at 375 degrees for 24 minutes(time may vary on different ovens) or until the tops are lightly browned.
  14. When you have about 5 minutes left on your bake time, start making the glaze.
  15. In a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar and milk. Add more of either to achieve the consistency you like. Add a splash of vanilla if you like.
  16. As soon as the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, spread the icing on top of the rolls.
  17. Let cool at least 20 minutes before serving. But you can still enjoy these WARM! And they are so delicious!

Notes

You will not get the same texture and results if you use a different gluten free flour blend.
