Gluten-Free Cinnabon-Style Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) gluten-free active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
Cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

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

Add the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more gluten-free flour.

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.

Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Carefully roll up the dough from the long side, forming a log. Cut the log into 1 1/2-inch thick slices.

Place the slices in a greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each.

Cover the pan with a towel and let the rolls rise for 30-45 minutes, until they've doubled in size.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Drizzle with cream cheese frosting while still warm.

Serve your gluten-free Cinnabon-style cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
