Hi everyone!
After being closed for quite some time and still having uncertainty in reopening, I've decided to use my page to share my love of gluten free baking and knowledge with you all. This girl isn't about to gatekeep all this delicious goodness. 😋🥰✨
Here's the FULL recipe for my Cinnamon Rolls with almond vanilla cream cheese icing.
Ingredients
2/3 cup warm milk (I use whole milk)
3 Tbsp white granulated sugar
1 + 1/2 tsp dry active yeast
1 + 3/4 cup gluten free all purpose flour (I used 1 to 1)
3/4 Tsp salt
1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp Psyllium husk powder
1 egg
3 Tbsp softened butter
1/3 cup + 1 tbsp softened butter
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup half and half
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 Tsp almond extract
1 + 1/2 tbsp softened cream cheese
2 tsp powdered sugar
Preheat your oven to 350⁰f
Mix warm milk, granulated sugar, and dry active yeast in a bowl and set aside for 5 minutes or until yeast has bloomed (become frothy.)
In a separate bowl add gluten free flour, salt, baking powder, and psyllium husk powder and mix until combined. Add yeast mixture, egg, and soften butter and mix until a dough starts to form. Once a rough dough has formed, knead with hands for 4-5 minutes or until the dough can form a soft cohesive ball.
Roll out dough into a large rectangle, about a 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter onto the dough, then top with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough tightly and cut into 10 even rolls. Place the rolls into a parchment lined 8x8 baking pan.
Mix together half and half, vanilla and almond extracts. Pour 1/2 the mixture onto the rolls and place them in the oven uncovered. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the rolls are slightly browned on the top AND a toothpick comes out clean after inserting into the thickest point of the rolls. Let cool for 15 minutes.
Use the remaining cream mixture and add the softened cream cheese and icing sugar until fully combined and there are no lumps. Glazed the warm cinnamon rolls with the icing and enjoy!

Happy baking! 🥧❤️
