Cinammon Rolls--uh Oh


celiac-mommy

Recommended Posts

Someone brought these super dry store bought cinammon rolls into work today and I wondered if the gluten-free cinammon roll had been tackled successfully--apparently it has been mastered. I found this recipe, looked good, pretty easy, I made them tonight-20 minutes prep time, that's it. These are some of the best rolls I've ever had! Here's a challenge for you-make them and try, just try to stay out of them right out of the oven. Not sure it's possible, and I have the mouth-burn to prove it :P ---hopefully there will be some left for the kid's at breakfast tomorrow.....

I read that these can be made dairy free--soy or rice milk, coconut oil etc...

I didn't use the suggested flours, I used my own flour blend

I used the mixer and once ingredients were combined, I set to med. speed for ~3minutes-dough was light and fluffy

I added 1/3 stick melted butter to the filling mixture before spreading on the dough--carmelizes better

I used wax paper instead of plastic wrap and I sprayed both pieces with cooking spray before rolling out the dough

These will be perfect for the brunch I'm hosting this weekend!

Thanks for the recipe! I'm excited to try them! What do you use in your own flour blend? I've found several online I could make up for myself but was wondering what ones were tested and easy to make, use, and keep?

Thanks for posting Rachelle. This recipe looks much easier than the one I made.

They look amazing....I think I got a blood sugar spike just looking at them. :P

Well, they were a huge hit! The kids looked at me like I was crazy, giving them "candy" for breakfast, but since we only do sweet breakfasts Christmas morning, I suppose this was OK ;)

My own flour blend has 7 different flours in it, I order 25# bags of flour from Bob's Redmill and I make up this blend and store extra gallon bags in the freezer-I like to have 2 extra at a time. Anyway, this is what I came up with and it's also my staple flour in Lorka's flax bread:

2c cornstarch

2c tapioca

1c w rice

1c bn rice

1/2c sorghum

1/2c flax seed

1/2c almond meal

2 tbs potato flour (only because I bought it by accident and feel like I need to use it somewhere :rolleyes: )

It's a little excessive as far as the amount of flours in 1 blend, not sure how I came up with the "concentrations" but it really works universally.

Oh goody...I saved that recipe link on my favorites about a month ago but haven't tried them yet. I tried a different recipe instead that sounded easier...they made tastey biscuits but not rolls. I am so glad you made them and that they are so good :P Thanks!

Thanks for posting. I was wondering what your flour mix is. Do you use this for everything adding x-gum and b. soda/powder in place of Pamela's mix? Thanks

oops, I just read universally

I also need to specify I use this flour blend for all of my yeast bread recipes. I use the Pamela's for everything else. When I use my own blend, I have to add the xanthan, b.powder and soda. I haven't yet tried to alter a regular yeast bread recipe, only a defined gluten-free one. I've read too many bad experiences trying to alter a reg. gluten recipe to try. For this blend, I basically add up all the flours listed in a given recipe and replace with my blend. Never had it turn out bad yet....

In your opinion, does it work fine to sub Arrowroot for Cornstarch? It looks the same, seems to feel the same - but I know it seems to be a little different for use as a thickener - so I was just wondering...

Thanks,

Dawn

Yes, you can do that. The "starches" are interchangeable in recipes.

Update: I made these again for a brunch yesterday, I made 1 pan of the original recipe and in an attempt to be a little healthier, I cut the butter I had added to the filling (1/2 stick) to just brushed on, so maybe 1-2tbs, and then I added a mixture of 1 apple finely chopped, 1/2c brown sugar and 1.5tsp cinammon as the filling. I didn't use the icing either. I also figured out, if anyone is interested-and maybe it's better to ignore-the regular recipe has 400 calories per 9 roll recipe and the apple rolls have 300 per 9 rolls (I get 9 rolls because the 2 end cut "waste" pieces, I put together as 1 roll as the center roll in the pan.

The apple ones were more popular than the regular too!

Happy baking :)

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Fascinating! This was very helpful, thanks for sharing

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
