Cinnamon Rolls?

[Kassie]

Does anyone have a good recipe for cinnamon or sweet rolls. i have been craving them for a long time and want to find a good recipe. so i anyone has a good recipe please post. thanks

[jmengert]

I don't have a recipe (I love cinnamon buns!), but Kinnikinnick makes them, and they are quite good. I add Philly Cream Cheese and Brown Sugar blend on top, and yum!

I'd love if anyone had a good recipe, though, to save money.

There is one on Annalise Roberts website.

I haven't tried it yet but all her other recipes are incredible so I'm sure it's great.

Wow! I was just about to post that! Annalise saw the plea for cinnamon rolls and wanted someone to post it on here.

Way to beat me to it, Jillian!

I haven't tried it yet, either. I think I'll try it when my mom is here in a few weeks. She makes great orange rolls, and I feel like I have to prove to her that I'm still a good cook gluten-free.

Hi Kassie,

I created my own recipe for cinnamon rolls using Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix.

I just prepared the dough according to package directions (I used a hand mixer with the dough hook attachments)

Then working with extra plain rice flour (because the dough is sticky) I frequently sprinkled the dough surface, the rolling pin, and the roll out surface with the rice flour in order to get it rolled out. I rolled it out to about a 16" x 9" rectangle or so.

Then I brushed the dough with melted butter (about 2 tbsp) and sprinkled the top with a blended mixture of 1/2 c. brown sugar, 4 tbsp white sugar, and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Then I roll it up like a jelly roll starting with the longest side, until it is in the shape of a log, pinch the seem, and cut into 12 rolls (my method to get even sized rolls is to cut log first in half, then each half in half to make 4 equal parts, then cut each 1/4th section into 3 rolls, totaling 12 rolls ).

Butter a baking pan (with about 2 tbsp more of melted butter) and place the rolls cut side down, cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.

Then I pop them into a preheated 350 degree oven, bake for about 20-25 minutes.

Cream cheese glaze is optional: Beat 4 oz. cream cheese and 1/2 c powdered sugar until blended and then add 1 tbsp milk or cream at a time until it reaches desired frosting consistency. Frost rolls right from oven.

CINNAMON ROLLS

Makes 8 rolls

Filling

1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Dough

7 tablespoons skim or 2% milk (110ºF)

1 tablespoon dry yeast granules (not quick rise)

1/4 cup sweet rice flour, separated

1/4 cup sugar, separated

1 3/4 cups brown rice flour mix

1 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs (room temperature is best)

2 tablespoons Canola oil

Rice four (about 2 tablespoons, used to flour board)

1 tablespoon melted butter

Glaze

3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 tablespoon milk or half and half

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Combine warm milk (110ºF), yeast, 1 tablespoon of the sweet rice flour,

and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a measuring cup; stir until well blended. Cover

with a towel and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes until mixture becomes foamy.

3. Mix eggs and Canola oil together in a small bowl and set aside.

4. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.

5. Mix brown rice flour mix, xanthan gum, salt and remaining 3 tablespoons

sweet rice four and 3 tablespoons sugar in large bowl of electric mixer. Add

warm milk/yeast mixture, egg and oil to the bowl; mix until just blended. Scrap

bowl and beaters and then beat at high speed for 3 minutes.

6. Liberally spread rice flour over surface of a wooden board and lightly

flour hands. Use a spatula to move dough out onto the wooden board in a ball

shape. Dough will be sticky. Roll dough around in the rice flour until it is

lightly covered. Gently press into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle with your hands.

7. Lightly brush melted butter over top of rolled dough and sprinkle with

brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Starting with 8-inch side, carefully roll dough

jelly-roll fashion. Do not roll dough tightly; the individual rolls will rise

better if they are more loosely rolled.

8. Use a small, sharp knife to cut 8-inch roll of dough into 8 1-inch slices.

(Don’t worry if slices seem loosely rolled). Coat knife with rice flour if

dough is sticking to it.

9. Carefully arrange slices in prepared cake pan so that they do not touch

(put six around the outside of the pan and two in the middle). Cover with a

light dishtowel and let rise in a warm place until rolls have doubled or more in

size and have filled pan (80ºF is ideal and almost essential for this very

heavy dough to rise in 1 to 1 1/2 hours).

10. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Position rack in center of oven. Place rolls in

center of oven and bake about 20 minutes, until light golden and cooked though.

11. Combine confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl and stir

until smooth and creamy. Spoon over top of rolls. Serve warm.

Cooks Note:

Dry ingredients can be mixed ahead and stored in plastic containers for

future use. But do not add yeast until just ready to bake rolls.

Rolls can be prepared in advance: Bake according to directions. Remove from

oven and allow to cool in pan on a rack. Store in a tightly sealed plastic

container in refrigerator for up to three days. Wrap well in plastic wrap and then

foil to store in freezer for up to three weeks. Wrap in foil and rewarm in

350ºF preheated oven.

BROWN RICE FLOUR MIX

Brown rice flour (extra finely ground) 2 parts 2 cups 6 cups

Potato starch (not potato flour) 2/3 part 2/3 cup 2 cups

Tapioca flour 1/3 part 1/3 cup 1 cup

It is very important that you use an extra finely ground brown rice flour,

(and not just any grind) or your baked goods will be gritty, heavy and/or

crumbly. Currently, Authentic Foods® in California (address, e-mail and phone

below) sells the only one I can find on the market other than in Asian grocery

stores. Authentic Foods® rice flour is powdery, just like all purpose wheat flour.

The other brands are not powdery and it really does make a difference. If you

want or need to use another rice flour, try to find one with the finest grind

you can. You’ll have to buy several different brands, open the packages and

feel the flour. Use the smallest for cakes, muffins, cookies and pie crusts.

Use the larger grinds for pizza. Authentic Foods now also sells the brown rice

flour mix already premixed as the gluten-free Classic Blend.

The potato starch (not potato flour) and tapioca flour (also called tapioca

starch!) can be found in local natural food stores, some grocery stores and

online. The brands seem fairly interchangeable and are consistent in quality.

How to Measure and Mix Gluten-Free Flours

To measure flour for making flour mixes: Put the empty measuring cup into a

small bowl. Use a soup spoon to spoon the flour from the package into the

measuring cup, or pour the flour from the package into the measuring cup. Then use

a knife or spoon handle to level the top (do this over the bowl to avoid a

messy clean up; pour the flour left in the bowl back into the package). Do not

scoop gluten-free flours out of the package with the measuring cup. Empty

measured flours into a plastic container large enough to leave four to five inches

from top. Shake container vigorously to mix flours. I usually make 12 cups of

brown rice flour mix at a time and store and shake it in a 21 cup Rubbermaid®

container.

To measure flour for use in recipes: Shake container vigorously to mix and

aerate the flour mix. Put the empty measuring cup into a small bowl or hold it

over the opening of the container if it is large enough. Use soup spoon to

spoon flour from the container into the measuring cup, then use a knife or spoon

handle to level the top (if you do this over a bowl, pour the flour left in the

bowl back into the container). Do not scoop gluten-free flours out of the

container with the measuring cup. Remember shake and bake!

You can substitute white rice flour for the brown, but you really want to buy the sweet rice flour. There's nothing quite like it & it is dirt cheap at Asian markets.
