Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1 16oz bag Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Bread Mix
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 4 1/2 tsp (or two packets) instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (300g) water
  • 1/2 cup (110g) unsalted butter, sliced into tablespoons (vegan butter can be subbed)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg white **SEE NOTES for vegan substitute
  • Cornstarch, for dusting

Filling:

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, very soft (vegan butter can be subbed)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Icing:

  • 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, room temp (vegan butter can be subbed)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temp (vegan cream cheese can be subbed)
  • 1 1/2 cups (170g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

Instructions

  1. Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls – Using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, add in the bread flour mix (discard the yeast packet), sugar, instant yeast, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix for about a minute. In a heat-safe measuring glass, warm water, butter, and vinegar. Slowly pour into the mixer while it’s running. Add eggs and mix for 5 minutes. Rest dough, roll out, spread soft butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Roll into a log, cut into rolls, place in a skillet, let rise, then bake.
  2. Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Icing – Mix room temperature butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread on top of warm cinnamon rolls.

Notes

  • Make sure the water is warm to activate the yeast.
  • If using vegan substitutes, adjust quantities accordingly.
  • For overnight rolls, chill after rising and bake the next day.
