Instructions

Dough

  • In a stand mixer, add sugar and pour warm milk over. Stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle the yeast over and set aside until bubbly or frothy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir in whisked eggs and apple cider vinegar.
  • Then add in the gluten-free flour.
  • Attach the bread hook to the mixer and mix on medium until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl and forms a ball. The ball should not feel dry. If so, add a tbsp of milk.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl to allow it to rest.
  • Cover the bowl and place it in a warm spot for about an hour.

Cinnamon Filling

  • While the dough is rising, make the cinnamon filling. Add all the ingredients in a stand mixer in a medium bowl with a whisk or paddle attachment. Mix until well combined.
  • As the oven preheats to 350F, the anticipation of the sweet, cinnamon aroma fills the air. Prepare a 9x 13” baking dish with a generous spray of cooking spray or butter, ready to welcome your soon-to-be-baked cinnamon rolls.
  • Use a silicone baking mat or cut a piece of parchment paper to 12x18” and lay it on the counter. Stretch the dough to fit the mat.
  • Now, it's time to showcase your baking skills. Evenly spread the luscious cinnamon filling on the dough, ensuring a ½” border around the edges. This step is crucial for a perfect batch of cinnamon rolls.
  • Next, carefully use the parchment sheet to begin tightly rolling the dough. Fold over the first 1” of the short side with filling all the way to the edge. Continue rolling the dough by folding the mat over to the other side.
  • Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces. Place them evenly into the baking dish.
  • Gently pour the 1 cup of heavy cream over and around the unbaked cinnamon rolls in the pan.
  • Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon; spread this mixture evenly over the unbaked cinnamon rolls.
  • Cover the cinnamon roll pan with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes or until fully cooked.
  • Once the rolls are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack. This step is crucial for the perfect texture and flavor, so be patient.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack
  • Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, make the frosting. Add cream cheese and butter to the stand mixer and combine thoroughly. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth,
  • When cinnamon rolls have cooled for 10 mins, slather the tops with the frosting.
  • Serve and enjoy

Notes

If the house is cool, you can place it in the oven with the light on. Remember, unlike regular dough, gluten-free dough will not double in size. It should rise slightly though, so don't worry if it doesn't behave exactly like you're used to.
