GLUTEN FREE CINNABON COPYCAT CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE



GLUTEN FREE CINNABON COPYCAT CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE image

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 26

DOUGH:
⅔ cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 packet yeast
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup potato starch
½ cup brown rice flour
¼ cup finely ground almond flour
¼ cup tapioca starch plus more for flouring your surface
½ teaspoon baking soda
1½ teaspoon xanthan gum
2½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon vanilla
FILLING:
⅓ cup butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoon cinnamon
FROSTING:
3 tablespoon butter, softened
2 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
¾ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
dash of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a pie plate. DOUGH: Combine yeast and sugar in large mixing bowl. Microwave milk and 1 tablespoon butter to approximately 110-115 degrees. Whisk into yeast mixture and set aside to proof. Meanwhile in small bowl whisk together potato starch, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, almond flour, baking soda, xanthan gum, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Once yeast is proofed add in egg, oil, and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Mix for a moment and then slowly add in the flour mixture. Turn the mixer up to medium-high and beat for 1½ minutes - beating long enough is essential, GF flours are "thirsty," the dough will thicken & lose it's stickiness as you beat it. Roll out the dough: this is a sticky dough that you'll want to roll out to approximately a 13 x 10 rectangle. What I have found works best is covering my work surface with plastic wrap and then a light layer of tapioca starch. I place my dough in the center and cover with a bit more tapioca starch and another sheet (or two) of plastic wrap. Roll out to the needed size and then carefully peel off the top layer of plastic wrap. Using a knife or spatula gently spread the ⅓ cup softened butter over the dough evenly leaving ½" space around the edges. FILLING: In a small bowl combine brown sugar & cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over dough. To roll your dough: start on one of the shorter sides and gently begin rolling your dough into a log form. Use the plastic wrap to help you "lift and roll" the dough as you go along. Try to make it a nice tight roll, however do not try to unroll it and re-do it. You'll end up with a sticky mess. Sprinkle lightly with tapioca starch again. Dip a sharp knife into tapioca starch then cut the rolls into 8 pieces. (This is an important update, in the past I did 6 rolls and it sometimes made it hard to bake them all the way through before the tops were done.) Place the rolls, cut side down, in the prepared B

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will ensure a smooth baking process.
  • Fresh ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Proof the yeast: Properly proofing the yeast is essential for a successful bake. Ensure the water is warm enough (105-115°F) and let the yeast mixture sit for the recommended time.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops its gluten, giving it a chewy texture. Knead for the recommended time, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This will ensure light and fluffy cinnamon rolls.
  • Roll the dough evenly: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a uniform rectangle. This will help ensure even cooking.
  • Spread the filling evenly: Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Roll the dough tightly: Roll the dough tightly, starting from the long side. This will help keep the filling inside.
  • Cut the rolls evenly: Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls evenly. This will help ensure even baking.
  • Bake the rolls: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until golden brown. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  • Make the glaze: While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. This will add a delicious topping to your cinnamon rolls.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and the right techniques, you can create delicious homemade cinnamon rolls that rival those from Cinnabon. Remember to use fresh ingredients, proof the yeast properly, knead the dough thoroughly, and let it rise adequately. Experiment with different fillings and glazes to find your perfect combination.
